WE have had reports that symlinks do not work when used within mounted containers. In particular, this affects the symlink to the current data directory that we create/update when downloading data.
We may need to make these links absolute, which can be done with a small modification of the download scripts to use different links. The original thought was that we were creating relative links and might need absolute, but looking at my recent download, it seems we are perhaps creating absolute links, which is not what I had intended!
I will make the change I expect we need, then test that it works within a docker image.
