I just tried this out and the symbolic links work for me. Can you verify the path they are taking through the UI: "Shared Data" -> "Data Libraries" -> Pick data library -> Add datasets -> Pick "Upload directory of files" under "Upload Option" -> Then the symbolically linked directory should be available under "Server Directory". Note - slightly counter-intuitively 'None" will still be the top option by default at the top - the other directories should be there though.
If the symbolically linked directory is not there - the next thing to check is that a normal directory is available if added to the import directory. If yes, then you should make sure that the Galaxy web processes can read the symbolically linked directory - for instance is it mounting the same file systems that the users are creating these symbolic links with, can it read the directory, etc....
