i assume you didn't replicate root.afs yet.

the afs client should mount root.afs as /afs when you start it. does ls
/afs work? does fs lq /afs show root.afs with a quota of 5000?

i bet you have -dynroot enabled. in that case, you can't create
mountpoints there. (was afsd run with the -dynroot switch?)

those touch commands are something you seem to have made up, and have no
bearing on reality. ls and touch on /afs/cell.name (if xx.bb.cc.dd is
intended to be an address and not a name, it will be useless) should work
in that case. but touching root.cell isn't what you want, and i'm unsure
where you got the idea it would be helpful.

now, the convention is /afs/.cell is readwrite and /afs/cell is readonly,
so *if* you created and replicated root.cell already, you can create
mountpoints in /afs/.cell but not in /afs/cell; that's expected. to make
them visible in /afs/cell, vos release root.cell
