You have a strange definition of "can't", one which I am more or less 
unfamiliar with.

Just because your OS chooses to render it as unix uid 10, why would afs 
not be able to enforce the owner as someone authenticated as a user which 
mapped to pts id 10.... or, for that matter, if it were owned by uid 
"-10", by pts group -10?
