I just found the check box in Package Maker to follow symlinks. You
have to double click on each package to get at that preference. I
don't understand why it's not in the Configuration screen.
At any rate, my meta installer is now working. Thanks for the help.
BTW, I've started using Deep Freeze to restore a system to a pristine
state in my test environment. It's awesome; just reboot and your
computer is back to where it was when you "froze" the state. They have
it for Windowz too. Very mush worth the money.

Thanks,
