That's a very strange error message to receive.  The only way that I can
see that failing with that error message if you're using the built-in kafs
library is if ioctl returned ENOENT or if it failed without setting errno
at all.

How is pam_afs_session built for this system?  Is it using libkopenafs or
libkafs, or is it using its built-in kafs implementation?
