We have a similar setup and Photoshop doesn't have a problem with it.
The setup is: RH Linux 5.1, kernel 2.0.36, asun 2.1.1. Users'
.AppleVolumes files contain only a reference to ~/launchpoint, and every
user has a launchpoint directory which contains symlinks to other
directories on another partition. No problems, even with Photoshop
(version 5).
FWIW, Mac error -50 is "Error in user parameter list", which doesn't
really say much.
