Hmmmm, might be a similar problem that I had with vserver-new...
I created the /vserver/newvserverdir as a symbolic link to a fresh
and empty volume, and vserver-new complained. I found that it
seems to just check if the directory exists, and if it does,
it will not make a new server.

So I tried --destroy, and it did remove the link, and created
a new directory on the root partition. OK..... Well, anyway
I did a manual mv of all the files to a symlinked dir and
it seems to be OK.

Possibly I bug in vserver-new this.... I don't know.
