NFS mounting a directory of symbolic links to other directories

"cp -al" will create the folders and hard-link the files. 
No scripting needed.

Hmm, that could do it, and keep updates to the structure on the server
side.  I'll need to work on a scripted method to do that, though, as
we're talking about a couple hundred directories (and so, potentially,
several thousand individual files).

Thanks!
