This wouldn't work; the local-lockers script expects to get the right
answer from:
l=`ls -l "$path/$sym" | sed -e 's/.* -> //'`
That is, it just looks at the value of the symlink and uses that as a
locker name. It's not clever enough to follow symlink chains, nor is
there an easy way for it to do so.
