I'm afraid that according to msdn kernel32's CreateSymbolicLink has 
absolutely nothing to do with ntdll's NtCreateSymbolicLinkObject. Other then 
similar name.

The kernel32's creates file system symlinks (for files) and reparse points 
(for directories). Ntdll's NtCreateSymbolicLinkObject creates object 
manager's symlinks only. At leas in Wine they don't apply to file systems.
