Symlinks and naming of mounts

Hello all,

I apologize ahead, if my wording is poor, for the description I will attempt.

I am trying to have the OS (X.5.8/X.6.4) have symlinks for the homes/shares on the desktop to make life easier for the Mac Users in an AD environment that is dominantly Windows XP.

I believe I have the Home now working correctly with some great direction/aid from Apple.  However, my dilema is in AD the faculty and student shares are both called "Shared"...so when I create symlinks I get "Shared" and "Shared-1" instead of FacultyShare and StudentShare.  The Users do not like this, being they have to open both to see which is which.

The AD Admins will not and said cannot change the naming, due to their scripts on the Windows side...so my question is 'can I rename a symlink, in a script, etc and have it go to the correct path?'  I ask this because it appears sometimes "StudentShare" mounts on the desktop first as "Shared", and sometimes second as "Shared-1"....the same goes for "FacultyShare".  

Any aid or assistance would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
