linkToDirs.pl is changing the file ownership and permissions of files being pointed at by symlinks, instead of the symlink itself.

This is an easy fix. At line ~800 or so, replace chown/chmod/utime with:  (taken from storeBackup.pl)

if ($t eq 'l')
{
   my $chown =
       forkProc->new('-exec' => 'chown,
                     '-param' => ['-h', "$uid:$gid",
                                   "fnew"],
                     '-outRandom' => $tmpdir/stbuCHOWN-",
                     '-prLog' => $prLog);
      chown->wait();

}
else
{
   chown $uid, $gid, $fnew
   chmod $mode, $fnew;
   utime $atime, $mtime, $fnew;
}
