Gary: What is the target path of the symlink?
symlink list <symlink> Is that target path a relative symlink or an absolute symlink (begins with '/')? If it is an absolute symlink, does it begin with "/afs"? Does the symlink contain a component with an embedded "@sys"? If so, does there exist any of the "fs sysname" values in the parent directory to match the @sys name expansion?
