You don't. For a start, --directory doesn't even exist in the ln on my Debian unstable box, which is a pretty good indicator that it doesn't exist. Secondly, Hardlinking directories is WRONG - to permit such an act would be insanely stupid due to the massive amount of damage that you could allow users to inadvertantly cause due to them not realising that the directory is a hardlink and trying to do something simple like a 'rm -rf' against it. Symlinks will suffice. Consult your friendly ln manpage for further (correct) information.
