I performed that command, but I tore it all down and rebuilt it anyway.
Running a system call tracer (strace) shows that stat ("/var/tmp/link", )
returns -1 with errno == EACCES. `cat' displays "Permission Denied", and
`cp' says "cannot stat".
What does strace show when you run it as user1 with a script that contains
[[ -f /var/tmp/link ]]
echo $?
?
