[OpenAFS] sysmlink problem

I cannot get existing .@ symlinks in AFS to work with Linux.
I rebuilt the kernel from the 2.4.2 source from kernel.org and recompiled AFS 
against it. (This was due to SMP problems). 

AIX .@ symlinks work, but Linux .@ symlinks are orphaned.  Regular symlinks 
work just fine in both.

AIX:
lrwxr-xr-x   1 1001     system        12 Aug  8 1990  andrew -> .@sys/andrew
drwxr-xr-x   4 root     system      2048 Feb 24 1995  awd

lrwxr-xr-x   1 1001     system         9 Sep 17 1990  dev -> .@sys/dev

Linux
