That sounds a bit like fs corruption then. Can you please do

  cd /usr/bin; sudo strace -fvvs1024 -o /tmp/trace ln uuidd uuidd.bak

and attach /tmp/trace? I guess it really fails in link(2) with EPERM ("old name is a directory") or EACCESS ("new path directory is not writable"), but let's make double-sure. Can you please also run an fsck?
