Are the master and slave located on two different machines, or on one
single machine?
Are you using symlinks to place tables or databases at other locations
than the datadir?
If yes:
* How did you do it (with manual Unix 'ln -s', with 
CREATE TABLE ... DATA DIRECTORY= INDEX DIRECTORY=, another way?). 
* Did you do it the same way on master and slave?

Do master and slave have the same tree structure (i.e. do the
directories ./ff_recent/ and /var/lib/mysql/ff_recent all exist on the 2
machines?).

If you could provide a simple complete testcase like:
"create a symlinked table on the master by following these steps, then
do this ALTER, then do that ALTER", this could surely help us.

Thank you.
