Quoting the relevant bit:

"You are browsing the "AFS" SMB/CIFS server.  The OpenAFS SMB/CIFS does
  not support UNICODE.  Without UNICODE support, SMB/CIFS share names are
  limited to 13 characters.  Hence, all cell names which are longer then
  13 characters in length will be truncated as reported by a browse
  operation.

  If you wish to browse with full length names, browse  "\\AFS\all" or
  simply type in the full name "\\AFS\cellname"."
