In such cases, I always encourage using nofollow rel attributes with the site links, since you really have nothing to gain otherwise. However, in most cases this is limited to just the sites and usually not the galleries - though a couple of programs make use of this indexing chicanery on their galleries as well. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the program to which the OP is referring is one of the latter.
hello. thank you for taking the time to answer. appreciated. -Josh
