[OpenAFS] difficulty with afsio

[Timothy Balcer]

Absolutely correct. :) I had to follow the instructions here, on
"enabling access to foreign cells" in order to make one in the basic
tree, with dynroot on, then turning it off I saw it, and it functioned
normally both with the client, and with afsio

Thanks for the pointer!
