I dont know all the details regarding shared directories between the 
host and guest, but the bottom line is that if you can not manually 
create a symbolic link in the subjects dir than you will not be able to 
run recon-all.

Another option is to use the shared directory to copy the subjects dir 
into the file system in virtual machine space.
