I'm testing out Capistrano on our new server (Debian 8.2). The process doesn't throw any errors, but still it fails to create the current-symlink.
Here's the last part of the stdout during deployment:

If I login to YXZ via SSH with the same credentials as Capistrano and run
$ /usr/bin/env ln -s /var/www/XYZ/releases/20151012102406 /var/www/XYZ/releases/current
$ /usr/bin/env mv /var/www/XYZ/releases/current /var/www/XYZ
the symlinks are created just as they should.
What can be the issue?
