Nothing /var/tmp/* is suppose to persist between re-boots. See the FHS documents.

Under Linux (vfat driver) the case-sensitive nature of FAT-32 is determined by mount time options.
Just enter:
mount
to review what options yours is mounted with.

Q:
If files in /var/tmp are not persistent across re-boots, how do you plan to make the sym-link there persistent across re-boots?

Q:
How do you intend to set the special permission flags on the target when the target will be on FAT-32 without support for permission flags?
