Matt, there is a way to manually repair the broken symbolic links 
using the Firestorm viewer latest release 4.6.9  by right clicking on 
any broken link and selecting "Replace Links"... but as you can 
understand its a very laborious process and only suited for 
identifying the actual assets that are still in their correct 
place.  For those with many outfits or symbolic links. its much 
better just to start from scratch and make new outfits.

I move all the broken "My Outfits" sub-folders into a new folder 
"Broken Outfits" and use those as a guide to what I need in the 
outfits, but the start from scratch.

Remember "Current Outfit" is broken as well, which is why every 
avatar on the rebuilt grid will initially show as a cloud.  So every 
avatar does need to select and wear a new outfit.  I provide a "Ruth" 
new outfit or they can select whatever initial avatar they had for 
that purpose for every avatar.

I have not tried your idea of doing data base changes to make this 
smoother for users.   I just tell them on login to the rebuilt grid 
to re-wear their basic body items and suitable clothing items and 
then they will rez and not be a cloud.  Then they should save that 
outfit again.
