I have Plex running on a dedicated Windows VM, and my symlink directory is
shared using Samba. I had to do some magic in etc/fstab to get it to work
but now it "just works" when I point any windows machine or Plex at it.

I'm guessing that you have a less complicated setup - Have you tried
copying a recording and renaming it to something that should work, and
seeing if Plex indexes that? At least that would rule out the symlink piece.
