commit_new_dsid.sh creates wrong links at the -n step

Dear Experts,

I would like to upload the new JO and the control file for a case when many DSIDs use a same control file, in SUSY. The folder structure is:

Dir1:
mc.1.py -> Control.py
Control.py

Dir2:
mc.2.py -> ../Dir1/Control.py

The jobs run successfully, and the first step of checks with commit_new_dsid.sh using --dry-run is also successful. However, when the option -n is used in the second step like:

./scripts/commit_new_dsid.sh -d=100001-100082 -n -m="SUSY direct stau, TFilt."

the linked files become wrong.

Initial input:

ls -lah 100xxx/100001/mc* 100xxx/100002/mc*
100xxx/100001/mc.MGPy8EG_StauStauDirect_120p0_1p0_TFilt.py -> SUSY_SimplifiedModel_StauStauDirect.py
100xxx/100002/mc.MGPy8EG_StauStauDirect_160p0_1p0_TFilt.py -> ../100001/SUSY_SimplifiedModel_StauStauDirect.py

After step -n:

ls -lah 501xxx/501047/mc* 501xxx/501048/mc*
501xxx/501047/mc.MGPy8EG_StauStauDirect_120p0_1p0_TFilt.py -> SUSY_SimplifiedModel_StauStauDirect.py
501xxx/501048/mc.MGPy8EG_StauStauDirect_160p0_1p0_TFilt.py -> ../../501xxx/501047/mc.MGPy8EG_StauStauDirect_160p0_1p0_TFilt.py

where the last file should be:

501xxx/501048/mc.MGPy8EG_StauStauDirect_160p0_1p0_TFilt.py -> ../501047/SUSY_SimplifiedModel_StauStauDirect.py

It seems there is a problem with the copy of files with a soft link.

I attach here the reduced example.

Many thanks for your help.

Cheers,

Judita
