PXE Boot Fails To Load Kernel Image

I have 2 Media Directors that fail to boot due to pxelinux not finding the kernel image. The scripts to create the symbolic links are broken

Could not find kernel image: 101/vmlinuz
Could not find kernel image: 84/vmlinz

dcerouter_1:/tftpboot# file */vmlinuz
101/vmlinuz:     broken symbolic link to `/usr/pluto/diskless/101/boot/vmlinuz'
84/vmlinuz:      broken symbolic link to `/usr/pluto/diskless/84/boot/vmlinuz'
default/vmlinuz: Linux kernel x86 boot executable RO-rootFS, root_dev 0x6801, swap_dev 0x2, Normal VGA

Changing to the appropriate symbolic linux now works

file */vmlinuz
101/vmlinuz:     symbolic link to `/usr/pluto/diskless/101/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic'
84/vmlinuz:      symbolic link to `/usr/pluto/diskless/84/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-7-generic'
default/vmlinuz: Linux kernel x86 boot executable RO-rootFS, root_dev 0x6801, swap_dev 0x2, Normal VGA

also the initrd.img were off and are now fixed

file */initrd.img
101/initrd.img: symbolic link to `/usr/pluto/diskless/101/boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-7-generic'
84/initrd.img:  symbolic link to `/usr/pluto/diskless/84/boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-7-generic'
