Chris:

Derrick already replied to you and he is one of the gatekeepers and
primary developers for MacOS X.  What you can do is file a bug report at
openafs-bugs@openafs.org so this issue does not get lost.  I suspect
what someone is going to have to do is replicate your environment and
attempt to reproduce the issue.
