Your experiment fails in a number of places because of M$'s use of
backslashes instead of slashes for directory level separators.
For those of you running Mac OSX, you can use this little script
I wrote for my HD installations. You just run it in the right
directory and it makes long names that include backslashes (which
in Unix are just another character; in fact, the only 'special'
characters of the 256 in Unix are '/' and NULL). I called it
'fixlinks'. After you run it the stuff all just works.

# Because the Flash garbage on the Mac butchers pathnames
# (uses backslashes instead of slashes in URL's) we can patch
# around this by making hard links to messed-up names for all
# the files that are properly found in subdirectories.
