I have read the IBM AFS documentation fairly carefully, so I knew that
the owner of a directory had implicit 'a' rights on the directory.

But I do not recall reading that the owner of a volume has implicit
'a' rights on the volume, so I am wondering: Are there any other
implicit 'a' rights out there?

In my ideal world, having 'a' rights on a directory would
automatically imply 'a' rights to every directory within.  That would
allow us to dish out administrative control from any point in AFS
space all the way down.
