Thanks for your suggestion. It doesn't seem to help, the problem still 
exists. Here is what I found after messing around with different 
configures:

I tried tramp 2.1.9 - 2.1.13 with emacs 23, they all had problem with the 
symbolic link. I also tried several tramp 2.0.x versions, they had problem 
opening the remote file and generated some error messages. I guess they 
don't work with emacs 23.

I also tried to install emacs 22.1 in Ubuntu, which came with tramp 2.0.55 
pre-installed and that worked fine with remote symbolic link files.

I also tried emacs 22.1 with the tramp 2.1.13 and that had the same 
symbolic link problem.

Not sure if it is the tramp's problem, or emacs 23, or both. I'd like to 
use the snapshot emacs version 23 because I can use antialiased fonts 
and that looked really nice.
