There are several things you need to do different in order to make it
work...
1. Use ln -s instead of the option -a (there's no -a!)
2. You should type the command as "ln -s [FROM] [TO]" (from directory, file,
etc. to directory, file, etc.) It appears that you are doing the reverse.
That should work. I only link files, not whole directories, so YMMV.
