Have you investigated what symbolic links it is trying to create?
Since you appear to be running it as root, presumably it isn't a
permission problem, so I'll make a wild guess and suggest that it is
attempting to create a link across filesystems, or a directory doesn't
exist, or something like that.

Good luck,
