[cciug] cc 3.2.1 install_release problem

In trying to install Clearcase 3.2.1 on an HP-UX 10.20 (brand new
installation), the install_release step stopped after trying to copy
symbolic links.
The log shows
ERROR: Creation/copy of /opt/ccase_rl/v3.2.1/hp10_pa/bin to
/appsdata/atria/bin failed
ERROR: Component atria_basement failed installation of component
files.

        .../bin is a symbolic link. The link *has* been copied to the
destination,
but it still flags it as an error and the remaining set of files
to install (for the component) are skipped.

The installation stopped after 3 such errors, all symbolic links.
The installation is a FULL LOCAL copy from the <release-area> to a
local filesystem.

Attempt to engage Rational Support the last 3 days not fruitful.

I trace the guilty party to <release-area>/install/inst_rls:
sub percdf_install_member_files {
        ...
        Ifile::install_comp_bylist($cdf,
                                   AIS::get_gvar("US_RLS_DIR"),
                                   $ins_dir,
                                   $dst_is_release_area) || do {
            AIS::M_err("Component $name failed installation of component
files.");

If I had the time, I could trace down WHY it didn't like symbolic link,
but
I would like to ask this wise group for any past experience with this.

thanks a million
