Use symlink of one share on another symlink

I have 2 ntfs volumes and their respective shares. Now i want the data of volume1 share1 to reflect in volume2 share2.

For that I am trying to utilize symlink without NFs.

However, when I try to test out in lab, the symlink reflects but getting access denied.

 

Can someone help out if I am missing something.

Looks like it is not supported.

 

Does Data ONTAP support Windows NTFS symbolic links?

But when I try to implement in lab, the symlink is giving authentication error strangely.
