They should be somewhat "aware" of other directories. For example, if 
you have a PBI with application links in the "Development" directory, 
such as Development/PBICreator3.0.1, and Development/PBICreator3.0.2, 
removing the 3.0.1 version shouldn't touch the other directory. If it 
does, there there is a serious bug in the PBI removal tool, and I'll 
have to fix it quickly. But when you try to re-install the application, 
it should re-create the icons regardless of what happened previously. 
(It doesn't care if there are other versions links in there)

Anything weird in your /var/log/messages file? Errors creating files, etc?
