Definite weirdness. Same issue on the non-raided disks, so suspicion wrong. Will copy list as the tests below show some more info.
I put in ln -s /home/john/Downloads downloads and the link popped up in the browser right away and I can see files etc. I can also ln -s /etc etc and see those files, and I suspect the ownership ain't john or www-data. Didn't do anything but set up the link to do that. So it is something about jumping across a filesystem boundary. My guess now is some setting in Apache.
