Where did you acquire the other kfm_aklog bundle?  If ours is obsoleted,
perhaps we should use that one.

I am not sure if this requires a reboot.  I wouldn't expect it to, but
it wouldn't really surprise me if it did, either.  As with many things
on OSX, I'm sure it doesn't literally require a reboot, but it may be
easiest to just do that rather than tracking down exactly what needs to
be kicked.

I assume you are able to get forwardable Kerberos tickets upon login?
