    Sorry I confused you. Maybe this will help:

    The basic idea is that you want to create a link to the new directory in
    the place that the old directory was. For example, you might do
    something like this:

    mv shop/even/more/images .
    ln -s ../../../images shop/even/more

    good times,
    Vineet
