It wasn't clear to me if everything in the old directories was deleted 
or not before being replaced with the symlinks.  After all, one way to 
do it would be to move /bin to /oldbin before creating the link, in case 
something doesn't get copied over correctly.  If so, either the copy 
needs to be removed at the end of the process or there should be a 
script to do the cleanup if/when you decide that the backup isn't needed 
any longer.
