Please edit adduser, and add this:

printf "%s -> %s\n", readlink("$fromdir/$file"), "$todir/$file";

just above the symlink call at line 695, and send the output as well as
the output of ls -ld for each item printed.  I am currently not seeing
what's wrong, so I'm not sure if it's already fixed or not.

Thanks,
