On behalf of Anders Hannus;
yes, it makes a difference, but not a good one. It neither complains=20
nor creates a mountpoint:
H:\>.\fs.exe -version
OpenAFS_1.5.5900
H:\>.\fs.exe mkm \\afs\ltu.se\staff\r\ragge\AAAA staff.ragge
H:\>fs rmm \\afs\ltu.se\staff\r\ragge\AAAA
fs: File '\\afs\ltu.se\staff\r\ragge\AAAA' doesn't exist
H:\>"c:\Program Files\OpenAFS\Client\Program\fs.exe" mkm=20
\\afs\ltu.se\staff\r\ragge\AAAA staff.ragge
fs: mount points must be created within the AFS file system
H:\>"c:\Program Files\OpenAFS\Client\Program\fs.exe" -version
OpenAFS_1.5.7400
