In config.php I'm saying:
define('OW_DIR_USERFILES', '/var/some/where/else/' );
I also symlink ow_userfiles to that directory.
Uploading of photos and attachments works: the files show up in the right directory. But oxwall does not display the attachments or the photos. The HTML IMG element for the attachment/photo is not even being generated.
If I change config.php back to the default, and I "cp -r /var/some/where/else/ ./ow_userfiles", it starts working again, but only with new uploads.
I assume I should be able to make that change to OW_DIR_USERFILES as I do it? What might be going wrong?

Try simply changing the directory name from ow_userfiles to 'else' in these two strings.
define('OW_DIR_USERFILES', OW_DIR_ROOT.'ow_userfiles'.DS);
define('OW_URL_USERFILES', OW_URL_HOME.'ow_userfiles/');
If you want the files to be placed in the directory upper directory your software is installed (OW_DIR_ROOT), you should use the relative path to your root directory:
define('OW_DIR_USERFILES', OW_DIR_ROOT.'../../../ow_userfiles'.DS); - three directories up from your root directory.
define('OW_DIR_USERFILES', OW_DIR_ROOT.'ow_userfiles'.DS);
define('OW_URL_USERFILES', OW_URL_HOME.'ow_userfiles/');
