A chroot in AFS is not possible since some special files are not
supported: pipes, sockets and devices. In principle it would be possible
but you usually need some of these files for a chroot environment to
work.
But there is another possibility: Just set the ACLs appropiately, then
the users cannot see anything but their home directory (and the path
leading to it).
