Ok! I thought it could help!

Here are the links we use:

This is the link without problems, which I made by hand.

        pd_cpp_flexlm.h -> 
/afs/pd-ef.ef/buildbot/BUILD/HEAD_TMP/tools/license/cpp/library/src/../include/pd_cpp_flexlm.h

This is one link which is created by scripts, which we have problems with.

        pd_cpp_flexlm.h -> 
/afs/pd-ef.ef/buildbot/BUILD/HEAD_TMP/tools/license/cpp/library/src/../../libraray/include/pd_cpp_flexlm.h

A shorter link of the same kind works without problems.

README -> /afs/pd-ef.ef/tmp/ril/sw/php/../../README.txt

It is not really critical. But we need a solution in further clients, 
because we don't want to stick in older releases. The only problem is, 
that I have to downgrade some systems to 1.5.21 in the build environment.
