I think most people make the things which live in
/afs/@cell be mountpoints for volumes, but as you
have demonstrated it is not required.

If you wanted to go down that path:

    fs rmm /afs/mteege.de/user/matthias
    rmdir /afs/.mteege.de/user
    vos release afs.cell
    vos create <server> /vicep<x> user
    fs mkm /afs/.mteege.de/user user
    vos release afs.cell
    fs mkm /afs/.mteege.de/user/matthias user.matthias
    vos release user

Assuming you followed the 
     /afs/<cell>    readonly mtpt
     /afs/.<cell>   readwrite mtpt
"standard".
