 I have just tried using a target as a file and it does seem to work
 with the -f option. It's only when the target is a directory that it
 fails:

 $ ll
 drwxrwxr-x 2 matt matt 4096 Mar  4 14:34 dir1
 drwxrwxr-x 2 matt matt 4096 Mar  4 14:34 dir2
 lrwxrwxrwx 1 matt matt    4 Mar  4 14:35 link -> dir1

 $ ln -s dir2 link

That should be:

$ ln -sf dir2 link

from the ln man page:

-n, --no-dereference
        treat destination that is a symlink to a directory as if it
        were a normal file

Cheers,
Michael
