Wow. "it does nothing was wrong", using -v shows that:
$ LANG=C ln -sfv foo2 bar
create symbolic link `bar/foo2' to `foo2'

So it creates the symbolic link in the directory linked to by "bar".

Is this expected behaviour?
(Note that I do not have used a trailing slash at the end of the target name, which e.g. "rm" uses to distinguish between deleting the symlink or the directory.)
