How can I manually force them to link?
You probably want to read the documentation under --help (and also perhaps at the head of the executable). But you probably want to use the --fixlinks|-f option which will create links between any pc file that is not linked to the pool to either the appropriate existing pool element (if it's there but not linked) or it will create a new properly named pool element linked to the pc file if the pool element doesn't already exist. I am attaching a slightly updated version of the executable that makes the error reporting a little more clear for non-linked pc files:
BackupPC_copyPcPool.pl

Good luck and please let me know how this works out for you...
