Even symbolic links are unnecessary.
You can put
\usepackage{graphics,epsfig}
\newcommand{\setpath}[1]{
\def\input@path{{PATH/#1//}}
\graphicspath{{PATH/#1//}}
}
Where PATH is the path to the directory of the master file e.g /home/me/thesis
and then put \setpath{chap1} in latex mode before including chapter1.
PS: If figure are inserted as EPS and not using pstex format, then
it defining of the \setpath command is unnecessary, and before each chapter,
use \graphicspath{chap1}.
