Yes, using fqpn's is best in situations like this, but if I read the
above correctly, you want:
ln -s /mnt/jack/files /opt/files
because you said you mounted jack's /opt on jill's /mnt/jack, not
jack's / (root).
Still, why you would get /opt/files/files is a mystery to me, too.
You will get that if /opt/files is an existing directory or a symlink
to an existing directory. The semantics of "ln -s" are that if the
target exists and is a directory, then the symlink is placed within
that directory. That's true even when you use the "-f" flag trying
to replace an existing symlink, and I get bit by that frequently.
You just have to be very careful when symlinking directories.
