 I have been tasked to generate test cases to validate the proper

I think HP open sourced a test suite that tests the audit system:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/audit-test
 In most cases I have succeeded in triggering audit log entries. 
However, I
 have been unable to trigger audit entries for the 'symlink call'  My test
 cases are generated by a shell script that execute commands to trigger the
 relevant calls.  In my test case I created a hard-link and a soft-link
 using /bin/ln.  Running strace indicated that the syscall was definitely
 made but  'ausearch -sc symlink' shows nothing.  I am using
 audit-1.0.15-3.EL4.  Any insight into this problem would be appreciated. 
Looking at the syscalls, it should trigger on something like:
auditctl -a always,exit -S symlink
Or were you testing it another way?
