"Directory View" needs to remember the file system paths.
They do this in a property (see the "Properties" tab).

In order to make moving a Zope installation easier, the remembered
path are (usually) not absolute but a "SOFTWARE_HOME" or "INSTANCE_HOME"
prefix is stripped off.

Consequently, symbolic links should work.

Check the property to find out what goes wrong.
