My mistake. I use drag and drop to create the link in the KDE filemanager and
I forgot to include the -s option.
In filemanager I drag the file or directory I want to link to the location
where I want it linked, then select 'Link Here ...' in the pop up dialog. Its
easy that way. I'm lazy. I am a GUI sort of guy :).
