Given that you can (and people do) use ACLs on local file systems, I don't
think this is the distiction that you're really drawing.  I think that in
this context, what you mean is "transparent means that it looks exactly
like a traditional Unix file system."

AFS doesn't and cannot give you this.  If this is a requirement for your
application, you'll need to use a different file system.
