I did a preliminary check on Google prior to emailing the list and had
found some general information
saying that this was something Windows does when creating directories on
shared network drives.
The solution is to change the permissions on the shared drive to allow
"delete" permission..... I thought
that since AFS has it's own  independent access control lists this sort
of thing wouldn't apply.  Is there
some thing I'm missing about windows clients and their interaction with
AFS ACLs?  

I'll keep researching..    Thanks for the response!
