Can MPD follow symlinks

[alwynpinto]

I have created a folder called "~/Music/servermusic"
and in the folder I have created symlinks to multiple folders on my server

in the mpd.conf i have added the above folder in the music_directory and added an additional line for symlinks
music_directory "/home/hp/Music/servermusic" follow_outside_symlinks "yes"
When I run a mpd client, it says permission denied. I have given chmod 777 privileges to servermusic and other folders in there.

What can I do to have multiple folders under music_directory. I assumed symlinks would work. Is there another way ?
