I made a mistake when creating the symlinks the first time, which is, I created them with tcsh. Tcsh tends to change relative paths using ".." components to absolute paths on the command line. Using plain relative paths, I now see what's going on. But it'sa tricky problem. I don't know how to fix it yet. I'll have to think about it, so please be patient.
