I have a user who installed OpenAFS 1.4.0 on his Windows XP SP2  
system. He can successfully get tokens and tickets against our MIT  
KRB5 KDC.

However, nothing shows up in the mapped drive on his system despite  
the fact that files exist in that directory.

One thing that is curious and may be part of the problem is that he  
initially put the wrong mapping in. His mapping should be:

/afs/iu.edu/r/n/rnourie

but he initially put it in as:

/afs/iu.edu/r/i/rnourie

However, the submount listing still shows
auto1	\afs\iu.edu\home\r\i\rnourie
auto2	\afs\iu.edu\home\r\n\rnourie
rnourie	\afs\iu.edu\home\r\i\nourie

notice that mounts auto1 and rnourie still point to the original  
mapping.

He has tried deleting all the submounts as well as all the drive  
mapping explicitly and then adding the correct drive mapping back in.  
However, he still can't see any files in the drive and the erroneous  
submounts still keep coming back everytime he logs in or reboots.

Any clues as to what the problem is and how to get rid of the  
submounts assuming they are part of the problem?

THanks.
