Whenever I try to set up a symbolic link using the ln -s command, it seems to create the link file ok, but if I try to navigate to this file (created in a normal user's web directory) via a browser I get a 'permission denied' message. I even tried to chown the symbolic file back from root to the user, same thing. Any ideas?

Are you saying that you are accessing the file via a web server?

If you are using Apache, you will need to add FollowSymLinks to your Directory directive in httpd.conf. By default, Apache will not follow symbolic links.
