Users could not see the new junction at the root of sys:

Resolution

Consoleone cannot be used to grant trustees to a junction. You have to use XML to do this or a utility called FILEATTRIBUTES.EXE. Unfortunately, XML functionality is not available in 6.0 NetWare. You have to upgrade to 6.5 to get this feature. The FILEATTRIBUTES.EXE also requires 6.5 NetWare to function. The solution is, you must upgrade to 6.5 NetWare.

NOTE: This file is only available with the assistance of Novell Technical Support. Please contact Novell Technical Support if you are in need of this utility. To add a trustee with this tool, you will not be able to browse to select the trustee, rather you will need to manually type in the full context including the tree of the user or group object you wish to add. Eventually, this functionality will be put into imanager. But there's no ETA on that yet. Still, it requires 6.5 NetWare.

Additional Information

Only admin or equivalent users could see the new junction created at the root of sys:. Trustees could not be granted to the users for this directory. If one goes into consoleone to grant trustees to the junction, the above errors would occur.
