This is what Frank is saying.. Not a soft link (aka symbolic link).
Neither of these measures will prevent the chrome file from being corrupted. It's nearly the same problem as my example, for which they were forced to create a daemon to keep restoring a file which got corrupted or deleted.
I'd be tempted to just script it in their xinitrc or whatever equivalent you have. Every time they login, destroy their profile and restore it from a tarball somewhere.
