Doh!  I'm slow tonight.  I was storing the list of symlinks in a
variable - obviously it contained a very long line which scrolled
out of sight.  The end of it was as expected, but the beginning
will have included the subdirectories.

Doesn't explain the whole problem, but it's a start.  Sometimes, it
helps (eventually) to explain the problem - I just wish I could
manage by talking to myself :)
