Probably there are more users out there having VP> rent a server package like this with a free ftp backup share. So you have ftp-access to that server only? No ssh or something (you could try the sshfs-module of lufs then)? Apart from that: Maybe you can get it working by ("exporting" and) mounting all the vtape-dirs separately? One ftp-share per vtape, then one mount per ftp-share? Sounds complicated but should work out ... The links would then happen locally and should therefore work.
