I assume you're doing this with anonymous ftp. Anonymous ftp issues a
chroot(2), which means that the effective root file system is the home
directory of the user ftp, usually /var/spool/ftp. Any symbolic link
must be relative to this directory, but normally that means you don't
need a symlink: you could use a normal ("hard") link and have less
confusion.
