This is expected behavior when your AFS pts id and your Mac OS uid are not 
the same. The Carbon libraries use information from stat() to make access 
control decisions that they have no buisiness making in the first place.

This has been discussed before. Unless and until apple switches from the 
stat(2) method to the access(2) method of determining effective 
permissions, the only workaround is to synchronize uids.
