Avoid resolving mount points (MATLAB in Linux)

Hello, I am using MATLAB 2015b with RedHat 6. My source code is located in a directory on my local hard disk. This hard disk is mounted to a specific mount point which is the same on all our workstations in the network. When I type

which <filename>

in the command window, MATLAB returns something like /mountpoint/folder/file. But when I type

edit <filename>

MATLAB returns something like /local_hard_disk/folder/file. Additionally, MATLAB seems to consider /mountpoint/folder/file and /local_hard_disk/folder/file as two different files. When I set a breakpoint in one of them, it doesn't stop, but when I set a breakpoint in the other file, it will stop. Furthermore, when I paste /mountpoint/folder into the address bar in the MATLAB command window, MATLAB automatically resolves and replaces this to /local_hard_disk/folder. I think the main problem is, why does MATLAB resolve the mountpoint to the physical path on my local hard disk? Is there something I can do to avoid this. I am not sure if this is a MATLAB issue or an operating system issue, but I have no idea how to find more information.

Thank you,

Christian
