Symbolic links to hob folder

I've installed some quicker storage onto one of our virtual servers, and copied our SERP system onto it. The data folder on My Standard uses a symbolic link to point to the actual path, and all I did was change this symbolic link to point to the new path. This seems to have worked fine.

If I look at the running processes containing StandardERPServer, I can see the --workdir parameter has the symbolic link path, whereas the --hobfolder parameter contains the link to the actual folder location. This presumably means that if I were to remove the Standard ERP installation on the old storage device, my system would no longer work. Why is it like this and how do we change the --hobfolder parameter to use the symbolic link?
