If a replicated volume is mounted with -rw -- this forces the client=20
onto the RW path even though the volume is replicated:  use "fs lsm=20
<mountpoint>" to check mountpoints.  If mount point output begins with=20
"%" the mount point is -rw

Traverse the entire path, from /afs down, issuing "fs lq" at each=20
directory node.  This returns the name of the volume.  Should be=20
<volumename>.readonly until an unreplicated volume is reached.

The convention you're using is atypical -- are your user volumes replicat=
ed?
