I think you meant the following?

(make-symbolic-link "/path/to/target" "/user@host:/name/of/file")

How should the following be handled?

(make-symbolic-link "/user@host:/path/to/target" "/user@host:/path/to/source")
(make-symbolic-link "/user@host:/path/to/target" "/otheruser@otherhost:/path/to/source")
(make-symbolic-link "/user@host:/path/to/target" "/this/is/a/local/source")
