How to create symlink in Application Support folder?

I had no problem in the past with creation of symlinks inside the ~/Library/Application Support folder, but not anymore. the "ln -s" command in Terminal creates only the alias now, instead of symlink. I really need help with this problem.

Yes, I tried after the first permissions repair and as expected it didn't work. Reinstalling 10.8.3 Combo update fixed it.

I have no idea if those symlink programs were the culprit as I didn't even try to use them after running the combo update, I just used Terminal.
