OK, I just read your post to Hazan re this :-) .

But I have 2 other blinding questions :-) :

why did you pick on the directory /opt? any specific reason or any 
directory name would do? For example, I mount my 2nd HDD in fstab as 
/data so I could use /data/Documents, eg, in the symlnk?; and

/opt is totally owned and controlled by root.root. What magic do you 
perform to be able to read/write/execute your user files? (or am I 
missing something here?)
