Hi,
welcome and nice to see a fellow redo user!
Let me be blunt with you:
Do not use symlinks (or hardlinks) in redo projects. Just make a copy of the tree at a proper location. Links violate redo's dependency model. I think, there is some more rationale in the manual, but this is the gist of it.
Due to this expectation, redo or .do script may at any point resolve their location or that of other files around it to their physical path. That creates further complications with symlinked directories.
This is not a missing feature but part of the dependency model.
