I'm not convinced. It looks to me that the symlinks are on the root (ext4) file system and pointing to the mount points of the NTFS partitions.There is your problem, NTFS has no concept of symlinks, it uses 'reparse points'.
If you want to have any chance of your setup working, I think you are going to have to reformat the drives. Your Windows machines will not care, they only see the data stream, not the actual drives.
I wonder, has OP restarted smbd since changing their smb.conf? I can't remember whether that's required for changes to take effect or not so it's something I usually do.
I do agree that reformatting to ext4 would be a good idea though.
