I wouldn't use these symlinks. Just do

	cd /mnt/main_machine/src
	make installworld

Even better, though, would be to change the way you're using mount:

	mkdir /usr/src
	mkdir /usr/obj
	mount -t nfs -o soft,intr main_machine:/usr/src /usr/src
	mount -t nfs -o soft,intr main_machine:/usr/obj /usr/obj

The options specified will help if the nfs server goes away in the
middle of what you're doing, but they're not the issue here.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
