FYI,

If one does ever find themselves in the situation with a bunch of files 
they need to re-hardlink, I found some great utilities to do that with:

Name       : hardlink
Summary    : Create a tree of hardlinks
URL        : http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/devel/hardlink/
License    : GPL+
Description: hardlink is used to create a tree of hard links. It's used 
by kernel installation to dramatically reduce
           : the amount of diskspace used by each kernel package installed.

Name       : fdupes
Version    : 1.40
Summary    : Finds duplicate files in a given set of directories
URL        : http://netdial.caribe.net/~adrian2/fdupes.html
License    : MIT
Description: FDUPES is a program for identifying duplicate files 
residing within specified directories.
