The presence or absence of tokens has no impact on
communication with the AFS Client Service which is
an SMB Server.  The authentication which is failing
is the SMB authentication which takes place local
to the workstation.  The Microsoft SMB Redirector
client constructs GSS SPNEGO NTLM authentication
requests and the AFS Client Service SMB Server hands
them off to the workstation to authenticate.

SMB Browsing (NET VIEW) does not require authentication
which is why this works when "DIR \\AFS\ALL" does not.

The next step is to use the SysInternals DbgView tool
to capture the authentication process during an attempt
to execute "dir \\afs\all" or "tokens".

Report any errors.

This registry value is a REG_MULTI_SZ.  The value should be

   AFS\0
   \0

is it?
