[OpenAFS] Having issues with writing to afs via Java process.

[Pucky Loucks]

So Jeffrey, am I to understand that the JAVA API is so old that it  
probably won't work with the latest code?  The reason I ask is that I  
do need a system that creates volumes and replicates/releases and  
this is one of the main reasons i was looking at the API.

I'm not against get into it from a code point of view (i.e. dev/ 
testing)... maybe I should post this on the devel list.
