One more data point:

I saw this yesterday on a 2.4.21-20.EL kernel with OpenAFS 1.3.73 client 
code (against a volume on an OpenAFS 1.2.13 server):

'make clean' refused to work on the OpenAFS code on the grounds that it 
couldn't remove the include/afs and include/rx directories because the 
weren't empty. Looking in those directories with "find" showed nothing, 
but after 'fs flush' 1-2 files appeared in there.

Right now I'm in .../doc/html/AdminReference and 'ls' says:

ls: auarf026.htm: No such file or directory
ls: auarf027.htm: No such file or directory
ls: auarf028.htm: No such file or directory
ls: auarf029.htm: No such file or directory



Let's see:
[root AdminReference]# fs flush .
[root AdminReference]# ls -l
total 278
lrwxr-xr-x    1 rtb      root           56 Jan 10 10:36 auarf000.htm -> 
../../../../openafs/doc/html/AdminReference/auarf000.htm
lrwxr-xr-x    1 rtb      root           56 Jan 10 10:36 auarf002.htm -> 
../../../../openafs/doc/html/AdminReference/auarf002.htm
...

and so on, all symbolic links (I use lndir to maintain the source tree 
for multiple architectures).

Looks like directory chunks do not [always] get updated in the 1.3.7x 
client cache.
