You did not say what the trust relationships are between the user, the SGE
and AFS.  AFS requires some user credential to get obtain an AFS token.

This could be a delegated Krb5 ticket, a grid proxy cert or even a password.
What user credentials are available to the SGE to use to get the token?
(I assume you are trying to get AFS tokens for the user, and not the SGE itself.)

If the SGE is completely trusted by AFS to have authenticated the user,
you could even get an AFS token without a delegated credential.
