Playing detective...the right-hand file (what the symlink points to)
doesn't have to exist when you issue the NEWLINK command (just like the
right hand side of FILE A=B doesn't have to exist at FILE time).

So, that means either the /usr directory or the local directory under /usr
(or both) doesn't exist.  To verify:
  :LISTFILE /usr/,6

If you see output then the /usr directory exists.  Now look for /usr/local.

You can use the NEWDIR command to create these directories, eg.
   NEWDIR /usr
   NEWDIR /usr/local

The ALTSEC command can be used to alter the ACD that is automatically
placed on each directory.

Hope this helps some,
