Thanks Dave. And, FWIW, the reason the ln -sf worked on the command line
when I tried it is that the publishing script had already removed the link
target. The addition of the no-dereference flag fixed it right up. BTW, in
the man page, it's pretty unclear, I think, given that the description for
-n mentions "destination" without defining it. Oh well.

Anyways, I'm putting this into production. It's attached here in case
anyone wants to throw rocks at my code -- I never claimed to be a 1337
bash scripter. I admit my error handling is primitive.

I'm thinking of setting up a "tools" CVS module for one-off stuff like
this.
