I am in the /usr/root ....dir

ln -s desktop /root/Desktop/tmp

Now i was exspecting to see all the contents for /usr/root/desktop when i viewed the /root/Desktop/tmp dir. but that did not happen.
Now when i go to /root/Desktop/tmp ...i see the link for desktop but when i do a ls desktop to try and view the files inside desktop i get nothing and a cd desktop gives an sys link error...and there are more files in desktop. I guess i am trying to mirror the two dir, so even though they have different names and on different filesystems, i will see the same contents.

Thanks for any help.
