Sandbox and symbolic links

Currently, I have an iMac which has a problem with Finder. Despite everything I've been unable to resolve it.

Fortunately, I have my SuperDuper! image to boot from and for the last three days everything has been running correctly.

I have decided to restore the iMac internal drive from the image which is on an external FireWire drive. As I'm going to be doing this I'm considering setting up a sandbox on an internal partition on the iMac. I will then back up the iMac drive to a regular FireWire drive.

As I use the same software on both my MacBook air and the iMac, I use Dropbox to maintain settings and application-specific files in sync across the two Macs. To achieve this I symbolic links within Dropbox.

My question is, if setting up a sandbox, will be symbolic links still remain correct or will I need to re-establish them for the sandbox partition as well as the regular partition?
