Jep, on other computers the user can read and write on his afs drive. 
And with the global drive via AFS control panel it works too. And every 
user has this problem on this computer, so I think it's not a problem 
with the server side.

We noticed that AFS remembers the submounts but does not show them. So 
we have to take a new one everytime. But this is actually the only way 
to get full write access to his afs drive.
