Maybe it's related to symlinks. They had crossed my mind as a risk, before I did it.

I did wonder whether to mount the drive there, rather than symlinking to it.

It's easy enough to try ... Tomorrow :-)

The other possibility is mounting it like a Windows drive, on X: or something. I still find it bizarre that Windows uses drive letter like MS-DOS did ... it's archaic :-D
