It's working here:

 afstest@windhund:~ > pwd
 /afs/cbs.mpg.de/afs/user/afstest
 afstest@windhund:~ > lsm $PWD
 '/afs/cbs.mpg.de/user/afstest' is a mount point for volume '%user.afstest'
 afstest@windhund:~ > du --version
 du (coreutils) 5.2.1

I don't think, this has anything to do with AFS:

 afstest@windhund:/tmp > ln -s /afs/cbs.mpg.de/user/afstest x1
 afstest@windhund:/tmp > du x1
 0       x1
 afstest@windhund:/tmp > ln -s /var/lib x2
 afstest@windhund:/tmp > du x2
 0       x2
