Right,
I think it should be this (minus the debug):
for d in run log tmp lock; do
echo ${D}
echo $d
ln -sfv ${localstatedir}/volatile/$d ${D}/$d
done
Which gives:
DEBUG: Executing shell function do_install
/mnt/SSD/oe-r0005/r0005/tmp/work/beaglebone-oecore-linux-gnueabi/base-files/3.0.14-r73/image

The only issue I am having is still the double tmp/tmp thing; anyone
know why it is doing it? It seems like a weird substitution or
something.....
