Alias for iTunes music on external drive?

I am trying to create an alias for my music so that when I click on the iTunes icon in the dock of my external HD (OS10.5.8) it points back to iTunes on my internal HD (OS10.6.2). Below are the instructions I received when I called Apple Support:


+Create alias to the 10.6 Volume/Users/'home'/Music/iTunes folder by holding down Command-Option and dragging this folder into a 2nd finder window open to the 10.5 Volume/Users/'home'/Music folder. This causes iTunes to access the same iTunes library as the 10.6 volume+

Virtually the same instructions for creating an iMovie alias worked perfectly. But try as I might, I can't achieve the same result in iTunes. Can anyone help?

imac, Mac OS X (10.6.2)
