Made the link in Nautlius by right-clicking and selecting "make link".

Mind you, this problem only appears when the directory listing is too
long. It gets concatenated with an ellipse (...) for deep directories.
For files that are in the same 3 or 4 parent directories, this dialogue
box doesn't give the user the whole directory path and therefore is
useless.

Ex: <the image I posted above>

Location: 
'/home/brett/my_altonlabs/altonlabs/invoices_given/invoice-20070920.odt'
Link target: 
'/home/brett/my_altonlabs/altonlabs/fcyb/work_files/invoice-20070920.odt'

Both are concatenated to: '/home/brett/my_altonlabs/altonlab...',
leaving the user clueless to where the file links to.
