Yes it prints a polite message and then bombs out.

If it can't do this (because it's not running as root) does it
bomb out or print a polite message to the effect that it can't
create that link?  I'd favour the latter; partly because sysadmins
may be happier to know exactly what privileged actions are being
taken than run a big fat script with root access.
