Works for me.

have you tried creating the link like below?

[doon@qix:link] touch foo/bar/baz
[doon@qix:link] ln -s ./foo/bar/baz baz
[doon@qix:link] ls -l
total 4
lrwxrwxrwx  1 doon  admins    13 Dec 16 03:43 baz@ -> ./foo/bar/baz
drwxr-xr-x  3 doon  admins  4096 Dec 16 03:43 foo/
[doon@qix:link]


Then ftp'd in.

ftp> cd link

ftp> ls

That is running chroot to ~ (we do everything in sql, so we force the  
groupname to be different.. :) )
