I'm guessing you meant the 'long ln' command?

If you look at what those 2 commadns create you'll notice (in the output
of ls -l) that the target the link points to has been recorded in the
link differently. One will be relative (../a/foo) and the other absolute
(/mirror/audio-Cd-Tracks/a/foo). This can affect how the SMB server
process these links when requests for them are made depending on how the
parent directories are shared (or not shared.) The relative links should
work I would think since they don't 'leave' the SMB share.

Are you also sharing these files to Windows machines?

If you're only sharing them to Linux machines, then NFS would be so much
easier to use. You'll still want relative links though.
