It sounds like either R as a whole or the R session does not have
permission to view the directory.

If I symlink a directory, is symlink considered as directory in R?
It seems to work, at least on GNU/Linux:
# (on this system, /var/lock is a symbolic link pointing to /run/lock/)
system('ls -l /var/lock')
# lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root <...> /var/lock -> /run/lock
dir.exists('/var/lock')
# [1] TRUE
If so, why `dir.exists` returns FALSE on directory?
Which operating system? Judging by your User-Agent, it must be some
version of macOS. Can you provide the output of `ls -l` on the symbolic
link?
