Most filesystems I've used are intolerant of hardlinks between
directories:
[sgifford@sghome sgifford]$ ln tmp tmp2
ln: `tmp': hard link not allowed for directory
The manpage on Linux says you can hardlink directories if you're
superuser, although I couldn't get the flags to work. On Solaris I've
created hardlinked directories before, but fsck destroyed them
whenever it ran, and I eventually used a solution much like the OP's.
IIRC, the manpage said directory hardlinks weren't recommended to
"prevent your directory tree from becoming an arbitrary mishmash."
