Thanks for the explanation.

I tried two machines here and apparently the privilege can be set on 
both of them without being Administrator, so I don't even know if it's 
worth chasing this test.  That is, I don't know if ln(1) prints a 
helpful error when the link cannot be created.  If it says something 
vague like "permission denied", I'm thinking it would be helpful to 
pre-diagnose the problem in the wrapper script.
