Do you have a valid AFS-Token? See the output of the command "token". If
not, get one (with "klog") for a user with admin-rights (e.g. admin).

Looks like you do not have a token.

I guess you are using dynroot - if you do, than /afs is no longer a real
volume (root.afs), but dynamically populated by the afsd.

This is an other problem. But perhaps related to your token problem too.

AFS integrates intself completely in the kernel of your OS. You can use
it like any other (local) filesystem. Any programm, wich uses the
ordinary vfs-interface for writing files (in fact every programm does),
can use AFS.
