That sort-of makes sense. Sorry, I wasn't suggesting that the bug was in
AFS, or find. I just think it is kind of silly that it works that
way. Why not "fix" the gnu find so that it requires the "-noleaf" option
in all circumstances, or a stupid user trick will be just to add a "dummy"
directory in the directory with the mountpoint. Too many exceptions to the
rules.
