[OpenAFS] pioctl fails when AFS user != UNIX user

[Rob Banz]

As they say in Denmark, something is rotten.

What platform is this on? Are you sure you're using the OpenAFS  
client, or one of the off-brand knockoffs ;)

You should be able to klog as any valid AFS user, from any joe random  
UNIX user. These should be 100% disconnected.
