What I'm trying to do is create a symlink to a directory which may/may not exist in the current branch.
So if the child branch doesn't have a particular folder, create a symlink to it prior to starting the build.
It's possible for the child branch to contain this folder, but it may not always be the case.

With overwrite set to true and failonerror set to false, I still get the link in the sub directory and the second time it's run, I get the build failed message.
Okay, are all these tests based on the situation that ${basedir}/testing-simlinkdir is already a real directory, and you want it to become a symlink pointing to /Users/eciramella/testing-simlinkdir ? Or, does ${basedir}/testing-simlinkdir not exist in the beginning, but ${basedir}/testing-simlinkdir/testing-simlinkdir is still created on the second invocation with overwrite="true"?
I'm no Ant guru, but here are some suggestions:
— you could just punt on <symlink>, and just <exec> an ln -shf...?
— or, use <available file=""> and the "unless" attribute on something so that you only make the link if the directory doesn't exist...
