Hi all,

we are experiencing some strange things when using an openAFS client on =
Mac OS/X ( 10.10 and 10.11 , using the 1.6.6 installer ).
I have the impression both are related :

1. removing a folder in Finder (sometimes) does not work. Finder =
complains about not having sufficient permissions to remove the folder. =
When opening  a terminal and removing it with rm, I can remove the =
folder. So there is a discrepancy between the permissions Finder thinks =
I am having, and the permissions I have.

2. I cannot save anything from Office for Mac on an AFS folder. I think =
it has a similar root cause. Office doe create a temporary folder inside =
the folder. I assume it builds the XML structure in there. After the =
error dialog in Office stating it cannot access the temporary folder, I =
do find this temporary folder in the afs folder and I do have the =
correct permissions.

Does anybody have the same experience ?
Are there solutions / work-arounds ?

Thanks,

Tim
