We're given an empty pathname component when this occurs, so we're
looking up "" in the parent dir; afs_lookup can't cope with that. If I
fake it so we pass in "." to afs_lookup when we detect this happening,
it seems to work.

Hmm, is something like that a plausible solution, or should afs_lookup
just be made to interpret looking up a "" entry as looking up the
directory itself?
