The /afs mount is not inside the chroot, rather, it is just where I am 
running the package build.

To be explicit:

1. The server (buster or bullseye) has the sid chroot environment in 
/var/cache/pbuilder/sid. This directory is local and not part of AFS.

2. Create a directory in AFS, say, /afs/example.com/users/rlinxster/wget.

3. Change into that AFS directory: cd /afs/example.com/users/rlinxster/wget

4. Download the wget package source: apt-get source wget

5. Change into the source directory: cd wget-1.21

6. (Try to) build the package: pdebuild --pbuilder cowbuilder 
--buildresult .. --debbuildopts -i -- --basepath 
/var/cache/pbuilder/base-sid.cow --distribution sid --configfile 
/etc/pbuilder/sid

7. This results in the error:

I: Generated dsc will be overwritten by build result; not generating 
changes file
E: File not found: ../wget_1.21-1.dsc


Note that the above _works_ on buster. Also, the above works on bullseye 
as long at in step 3 you are in a local directory and not in AFS.
