Really off-topic for OpenAFS:

"Internalz" (http://www.precentral.net/homebrew-apps/internalz) works great.

One other thing I found out is that if you hack the media database 
(/var/luna/data/mediadb.db3) by adding (e.g.) songs with an AFS path
by hand, then the music app will happily display and play these files.
If you write a litte app that takes a directory name as input and adds
all files it finds to the mediadb sqlite file, you are done.
