That sounds a bit like fs corruption then. Can you please do
cd /usr/bin; sudo strace -fvvs1024 -o /tmp/trace ln uuidd uuidd.bak
and attach /tmp/trace? I guess it really fails in link(2) with EPERM
("old name is a directory") or EACCESS ("new path directory is not
writable"), but let's make double-sure. Can you please also run an fsck?
