I use 2 scripts to run mythlink..... The first I call link.sh the second 
is the mythlink.pl script ..  link.sh executes mythlink.pl and contains 
all the information needed to place the symlinks in the proper folder 
with season and episode.
This is the contents of link.sh      #!/bin/sh
                                                       /usr/bin/perl 
/home/greg/mythlink.pl --link /video7/mythtv/pretty --format "%T/%T - 
S%ssE%ep - %S"

I place both scripts in the root folder of the user that runs mythtv (in 
my case greg) You will have to change the paths too where you want the 
symlinks placed. Mine goes into /video7/pretty.. You must elevate the 
permissions and make both scripts executable by your user... I have been 
using this method for as long as I've run Mythtv...
I also run the link.sh in a cron job every half hour to update any 
recordings and remove the dead links..

Good Luck
