The symlink wasn't there so I re-created it. It then complained about another 
lib and then another and another.

Even though fsck didn't report anything, I think the fs may be corrupt.

I've managed to revert to the older server that this new one had only just 
replaced. I'm not going to rebuild from scratch as I think this is the only 
way be be 100% certain it's right.  (I'm going to soak test the drive first)

Thanks everyone for their help.
