That does not work because if the destnation is a directory it will try to link in the destination directory... (I tried). This is why I suggested that it needs to be done differently. ln -sfh? As an aside, it would be nice if there were an easy way to create a symlink at a temporary location and rename it over the permanent one. `ln -sfh' will unlink instead, and mv(1) is too smart for its own good about directories to be able to rename over a symlink reliably...
