That's because you did not read the entire CONF.sh and change the option
at the bottom:
# Options
# export MKISOFS=/usr/bin/mkhybrid
# export MKISOFS_OPTS="-a -r -T" #For normal users
# export MKISOFS_OPTS="-a -r -F -T" #For symlink farmers
Obviously, use the one for symlink farm. The -F options tells mkhybrid to
reference symlinks to their actual files. This has the affect of breaking
down all symlinks though (even the ones in other places on the CD, like
docs), but it works.
