Cory is (probably) right, especially if your server is Samba 3.x.  It
is not a "problem" with Samba, exactly...  It is a limitation of
Windows.

Windows knows nothing about symlinks.  So when a Windows client
accesses a symlink on the server, the server resolves it to the actual
file or folder; the client does not even realize it is traversing a
link.

When a Linux client (e.g., the Unattended boot disk) accesses the
share, Samba makes the symlink itself visible.  But it will probably
not resolve correctly from the client's point of view.

You can test this by doing "ls -l" from the Unattended client to see
how the symlinks appear.  Also do "man smb.conf" on your server and
read the section on "unix extensions".

This is also mentioned briefly in the first question in the FAQ
(http://unattended.sourceforge.net/faq.html).
