 See the following, firstly with files:
 
 [juan@nocturno][~]> ln -s blah/@uid foo
 [juan@nocturno][~]> file foo
 foo: broken symbolic link to `blah/@uid'
 [juan@nocturno][~]> cat foo
 cat: foo: No such file or directory
 [juan@nocturno][~]> echo blah > foo
 [juan@nocturno][~]> cat foo
 blah
 [juan@nocturno][~]> ls -l blah
 total 8
 -rw-r--r--  1 juan  wheel  5 Feb 17 19:58 1000
 [juan@nocturno][~]> cat blah/1000
 blah
 [juan@nocturno][~]>
 
 Now with directories:
 
 [juan@nocturno][~]> mkdir -p blah/@uid/tmp
 [juan@nocturno][~]> ln -s blah/@uid/tmp foo
 [juan@nocturno][~]> cd foo
 cd: no such file or directory: foo
 [juan@nocturno][~]> file foo
 foo: symbolic link to `blah/@uid/tmp'
 [juan@nocturno][~]>
 
 So does it work?
