My full config is this:

mythtv /hd1/TV Recordings/Subdir $ cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
[global]
   workgroup = WORKGROUP
   server string = Samba Server
   netbios name = SERVER
   server role = standalone server
   log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
   max log size = 50
   domain master = yes
   dns proxy = no
   allow insecure wide links = yes
   create mask = 0644
   directory mask = 0755
   follow symlinks = yes
   wide links = yes
   unix extensions = no
#=======DISABLE PRINTING=======#
  load printers = no
  printing = bsd
  printcap name = /dev/null
  disable spoolss = yes
  show add printer wizard = no
#============================ Share Definitions
==============================
[MythTV Recordings]
  path = "/hd1/TV Recordings"
  comment = "MythTV Recordings"
  read only = yes

And this is what I did to reproduce the situation. /home/mythtv/ is outside
of any existing shares
mythtv /hd1/TV Recordings/Subdir $ rm file*
mythtv /hd1/TV Recordings/Subdir $ ln -s /home/mythtv/file.ts file0.ts
mythtv /hd1/TV Recordings/Subdir $ ln -s /home/mythtv/file.ts file1.ts
mythtv /hd1/TV Recordings/Subdir $ ln -s /home/mythtv/file.ts file2.ts
mythtv /hd1/TV Recordings/Subdir $ rm file0.ts
mythtv /hd1/TV Recordings/Subdir $ ln -s /home/mythtv/file.ts file0.ts
mythtv /hd1/TV Recordings/Subdir $ smbclient -U mythtv "//localhost/MythTV
Recordings" -c "ls Subdir/*"
Enter WORKGROUP\mythtv's password:
