And notmuch config get database.path prints /export/home/username/mail 
I presume ?

If that is the case then this symlink should have no effect.

Is there any symlinks inside /export/home/username/mail 
( find /export/home/username/mail -type l ) (provided that
was the database.path -- and sure there are no bind mounts ;D?)
