ofcourse symlinks won't work... you need hardlinks maybe :-)

I think I read somewhere that certain FTP servers recognize a convention
when you have the homedir in the password file changed from /home/luser
to /home/luser/./ it becomes chrooted when they log in.

look into proFTPD, mayb they do it better.
