Jim,

This is completely normal.

When the workstation boots up, it creates a ramdisk and mounts it on
/tmp, and then creates the targets of those symlinks.  So, from the
workstations point of view, they are not broken symlinks.

As for your problem with pivot root, I don't think this is causing your
problem.
