Windows doesn't like symlinks or hardlinks. I seem to remember that only Administrator users have the privileges to create hardlinks. Also, make sure that E: is using NTFS as file system, FAT and ExFAT probably don't support file system links.

If you utorrent isn't running with elevated rights, then filebot isn't running with elevated rights, so it won't be able to create hardlinks.

Try creating hardlinks with the FileBot GUI and see if that works.
