Certainly seems to be running.

So the problem seems to be that Nginx is failing to communicate with 
Diaspora.  Let's see that configuration file (config/unicorn.rb).  Check 
carefully that it specifies exactly the same socket file as Nginx is using:

/home/diaspora/diaspora/tmp/diaspora.sock

Irrelevant.  We've already established that Nginx is reading and acting 
on your configuration file so trying to re-create the symbolic link is 
just getting distracted.
