OZ-GPE 3.5.4.1.release C860 (boxer)

Hi all. In the previous (read 2.4 kernel) OZ releases I was able to
add symlinks to be set up under /var to point to a non-volatile
filesystem to preserve stuff like the ipkg lists & my cron tab. Now
under 3.5.4.1 (specifically GPE) /etc/default/volatiles/00_core
doesn't seem to be followed. I've made the following changes (which as
I said worked previously):

    /etc/default/volatiles$ diff 00_core 00_core.org
    27a28
    > d root root 0755 /var/lib/ipkg none
    40,42d40
    < l root root 0777 /var/lib/ipkg /home/local/ipkg
    < l root root 0777 /var/cron /home/local/cron
    < l root games 0777 /var/games /home/local/games

Note that the directories under home/local do exist. Any ideas? thks
