When you say 'cd /roddata', it means that there is a link named roddata in root (/) to the directory named roddata in your home directory. So if you create a directory named poddata in your home directory (as in your example), you should create a link in root.
Like this:
Code:
ln -s /pto/ppa/ridbmw/etl/poddata /poddata
Note that you need to be root to write in /.
