asdf path problems under ACL62

Hi all,

I am trying to set up my ACL 6.2 professional with asdf v 1.75 on
Redhat 9. The asdf package installs without any problems. I have
created a directory for asdf systems where I keep a symbolic link to
the .asd file for each library. I think my setup is identical way to
it was configured on Debian with cmucl and common-lisp-controller. 

When I try to call (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op 'paip) to load Norvigs
paip code, the following happens: 

CL-USER(2): (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op 'paip)
; loading system definition from
/home/melster/data/lisp/lib/systems/paip.asd
; into #<The ASDF68 package>
;;; Compiling file /home/melster/data/lisp/lib/systems/paip.asd
;;; Writing fasl file /home/melster/data/lisp/lib/systems/paip.fasl
;;; Fasl write complete
; Fast loading /home/melster/data/lisp/lib/systems/paip.fasl
; registering #<SYSTEM :PAIP @ #x71beecaa> as PAIP
Error: File #p"/home/melster/data/lisp/lib/systems/auxfns.lisp" does
not exist.
  [condition type: FILE-ERROR]

Restart actions (select using :continue):
 0: Prompt for a different filename to compile
 1: ASDF::RETRY-COMPONENT
 2: ASDF::SKIP-COMPONENT
 3: Return to Top Level (an "abort" restart).
 4: Abort entirely from this process.
[1] CL-USER(3):              

It seems that instead of following the symbolic link in the "systems"
directory, asdf looks for the files in that directory. The
"auxfns.lisp" file that asdf looks for is actually ocated in
"../paip/auxfns.lisp". 

I am pretty sure the symbolic links are set up correctly:

/home/melster/data/lisp/lib $ ls -l systems/paip.asd
lrwxrwxrwx   1 melster  melster        16 Jul  7 18:13 systems/paip.asd -> ../paip/paip.asd
/home/melster/data/lisp/lib $ ls -l paip/paip.asd
-rw-rw-r--   1 melster  melster      1355 Dec 12  2002 paip/paip.asd
/home/melster/data/lisp/lib $                

The same problem exists with other packages too, for example the RT
package. 

Any tips? 

Martin
