Everything but BusyBox should be a symbolic link.  When you copied the files, did you do so 
in such a way that the copy program just copied the link instead of duplicating the file?  
If all the files are identical, they're probably just duplicates of BusyBox.  You need to 
specify the right options to cp to have it just copy the links instead of duplicating the 
linked file.  See "man cp" for more info. 
 
I'm suggesting this because I made this mistake myself early on and thought you might have 
run into the same thing...
