This will be failing because SELinux is blocking access to reading the
symlink. You should find an avc denial for the lnk_file in your logs.

An easier way is to bind mount /home/pgsql on /var/lib/pgsql etc. and do
a restorecon -R on the "new" /var/lib/pgsql. That achieves the same
effect without the symlink.
