I am launching instances with the brand new AMI, ami-118bfc78. The symlinks are broken for me.  Is there an additional step I need to take after launching the instances? I feel like I am overlooking something. 

Also, fixing bow tie along with top-hat did not fix the error. I will look into this further. 

Thanks for any suggestions.

Is this a migrated cluster or a brand new one? I'm guessing you're using the new AMI?
The migration process supposed to have updated those env.sh paths.

More to the point, is your tophat job failing due to bowtie not being found? Try adding the path to bowtie executables to tophat's env.sh file as well and see if that fixes the issue.

This may be a problem with the latest Galaxy Cloudman AMI. 

Some tools (tophat is one) are failing to run because they cannot be found. I have noticed that after launching a new instance with the latest AMI, the "<package>/<version>/default" sym-links under /mnt/galaxy/tools point to a directory in /mnt/galaxyTools, which does not exist since this new AMI merged galaxyTools and galaxyData. 

Additionally, even after manually fixing the symlink and the path in the env.sh file (it also references galaxyTools), running tophat would fail, although now, at least, it can find the program. This may be an issue with tophat's XML or python script though, since I fixed Velvet's symlink and env.sh and it worked perfectly. 

This document explains how the default symlink and env.sh are used by Galaxy:
