<characteristic type="FileOperation">
    <characteristic type="\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\E-mail.lnk">
        <characteristic type="Move">
            <parm name="Source" value="\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Messaging\E-mail.lnk" translation="install" />
            <parm name="RemoveAttributes" value="H" />
            <parm name="RemoveAttributes" value="S" />
        </characteristic>
    </characteristic>
</characteristic>

also tried one line for attributes:

<parm name="RemoveAttributes" value="S,H" />

same issue..

edit: actually i can delete the .lnk file but mysteriously i can't move or copy it from start menu\programs to start menu\programs\messaging, strange..

Try deleting and recreating it as a workaround.
