OK, the summation here is that only root or the owner of the directory

who can access the updates account despite the appearances, sorry about
that.
Basically there is no way to modify an existing symbolic link, to change
it you have to remove and recreate it. So if you don't have write
access to the directory, even if you have write access to the link, you
are out of luck.
I fixed the current_development and current_stable links. I also went
ahead and created a 4.5alpha directory.
