[OpenAFS] intermediate file updates

Hi,

I'm running Sun Grid Engine on a linux cluster with AFS as distributed
file system. When a job is started on a cluster node, all output and error
messages are redirected to files. These files are in the cluster users'
home directory on AFS. I noticed that these files remain 0-length until
the job is finished. When I use NFS for this, they are updated
automatically. Is there any way to get the same behaviour in AFS, 'cause
the cluster users would like to find out what is happening in their job
while it's still running.

Thanks,

wim
