I went again through all of my cron scripts, and after all located an 
error that was causing the problem, so my apologies for the false alarm.

Since I had not made any changes in these scripts recently, I couldn't 
find any lines that would cause the problem. What I hadn't realized, 
was that in a line earlier in the script, a directory that was 
designated for a "cd" directory change had been deleted, and thus a 
subsequent "rm" command was being run on my home directory (I 
eventually also realized that I was not losing only symlinks, but 
other files as well).

Regards,

Chuck
