You don't need to create a link, what you should do is press alt-f2 to bring up the run dialog, enter gconf-editor and press enter. When the gconf-editor window pops up press ctrl+f to search, enter volumes as the search term and check both boxes (i use volumes because it i know that will take you to the right place). In the results there should be something about volumes visible, click on that, nearby in the list of options will be show home folder on desktop or something similar, there is also one for voulumes, computer and trash.
