At a quick guess, I suspect the symlink will end up pointing to
something like, /link will be a symlink pointing to '../../blah', which
won't be valid inside the chroot. Or will point to '/var/www/mydata'
which again, won't be valid inside the chroot. However I don't have a
chroot environment here with which to test this. But basically the
symlink will be broken inside the choort.
