Fix for file module with symlinks to nonexistent target (#39635)

* Fix for file module with symlinks to nonexistent target

When creating a symlink to a nonexistent target, creating the symlink
would work but subsequent runs of the task would fail because it was
trying to operate on the target instead of the symlink.

Fixes #39558
