I suspect that what you're seeing is that AFS uses keyrings with current
kernels instead of GID-based PAGs to accomplish the same purposes.  The
AFS part works the way it always has, but the supplemental groups may not
show up as GIDs.

But it's hard to be sure without more details on what you mean by "not
working any more."
