You might be right.  I might be able to just use a lofs mount to share
/afs with the non-global zones since the kernel module is running (as all
zones share the common kernel).  Would the fact that afsd is only running
in the global zone cause things to fail?  Obviously since the binaries
live in /usr/afsws (which is a symlink to AFS, natch) they'd be visible to
the non-global zone.
