Thanks!  Got it to work finally... The big problem I had was with 
spaces... It was chopping off anything before the space so the link 
failed.... BTW here's what worked a charm:


#!/bin/bash
cd /big/sda1
find Sorted -type l -name "*avi" | while read fake ; do
  real="../../../moviesa/"${fake##*/}""
  ln -svf "$real" "$fake"
done



Thanks a million!
