I can't seem to load the website above. Sure the link is correct? Even pingdom reports the page does not exist:

A bit hard to diagnose without a link, as I don't know the OS/platform. Never heard of symlinks being disabled, except for perhaps Microsoft IIS server. You can DISABLE symlink in image resize requests by going to panel > Settings > Advanced, and uncheck "Symlink request cache".
