It wasn't linked. Each file was separate.
So when I link them like so:
ls -l public_html/fud/adm/GLOBALS.php
lrwxrwxrwx 1 myforums myforums 28 May 24 15:21 public_html/fud/adm/GLOBALS.php -> fud_data/include/GLOBALS.php
I get a php error:
/home4/myforums/public_html/fud/adm/admglobal.php on line 12 [24-May-2009 15:24:53] PHP Warning: require(./GLOBALS.php) [<a href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home4/myforums/public_html/fud/adm/admglobal.php on line 12 [24-May-2009 15:24:53] PHP Fatal error: require() [<a href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: Failed opening required './GLOBALS.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home4/myforums/public_html/fud/adm/admglobal.php on line 12
BTW, thanks for everything!
