Changing out the symlink for a real directory full of files didn't help, but I believe I have found the problem:

Normally when you reference a stock footprint in a schematic, you do so by name, without any suffixes, e.g. you specify "RCY100" instead of "RCY100.fp".  This is how I reference my custom footprints as well, and it's enough to satisfy gsch2pcb.

I tried changing all references to my custom footprints in the schematic to include ".fp", and sure enough, it works.  The Import function finds them just fine this way.

This of course represents a significant change in behavior, so I'd have to suggest that the suffix be made optional in the Import function.
