I am trying to link from one share to another, with two different users. All my folders and files shared by samba have 755 permissions. When you say that permissions are to blame, what do you mean? Is there some requirement that the user should have access either through owner or group? | |

I think you are correct. I tried: mkdir /net/share/d; ln -s /net/share/d symlink and this worked. So I consider the first question answered!
