Further notes on this -- I fixed my CellAlias file to be:
ir.stanford.edu ir
.ir.stanford.edu .ir

Now my /afs directory has:

ir -> ir.stanford.edu
.ir -> .ir.stanford.edu
.ir -> .ir.stanford.edu
..ir -> ..ir.stanford.edu
./
ir.stanford.edu
.ir.stanford.edu

Note that ".ir" shows up twice (??) and "..ir" is still present (??).
