The fileserver already has this type of logging in place, you just
need to increase LogLevel.  However, remember that AFS is a cacheing
filesystem, thus the resulting audit trail will be incomplete. 
Furthermore, the name of the object accessed is not unique for files
due to hardlinks.  Thus, you'll need to come up with your own
heuristic to transform the (volume,vnode,uniqifier) tuple into
something usable.
