Symlinks not working on mac

I've changed the directory setup a bit on my mac, and as a result submitting solutions fail. The cause is symlinking. Seems like something that should just work, so posting it here as a bug. Can't find other mentions of it.

I've got an Exercism directory, with language track symlinks in it

Exercism/elixir -> /Users/me/dev/own/Development/elixir/Exercism

Below that, everything is the same. The exercism command happily downloads exercises and they end up exactly like one expects. Submitting a solution is broken, though, with the following error:

Error: not in workspace

My config looks like:

Home: /Users/me
Workspace: /Users/me/Exercism
Config: /Users/me/.config/exercism
