Can you provide the full command and syntax you are using to try to create your symlink, as well as a directory listing for the directory you are trying to create it in ? Also, what is the full text of the error that you get ?
In terms of creating the desired link, the least complicated method would be something like this:
That would have the effect of creating a symbolic link called archive that points to /wkspc/wff/Dev/data/ess/archive/DEL in whatever directory you cd'd into in the first step.

?>
NOTES
Note
This function will not work on remote files as the file to be examined must be accessible via the server's filesystem.
Note
When safe mode is enabled, PHP checks whether the files or directories being operated upon have the same UID (owner) as the script
that is being executed.
Note
This function is not implemented on Windows platforms.
