To which I reply:

Ok, I've figured out my confusion, I think.  Is it the case that in order 
for the Finder to acknowledge its existence, the volume has to be mounted 
in /Volumes?  What I had done was to create a directory (in /tmp), and then 
used that as the second argument for mount_afs, as in:

    ./mount_afs user.xxx /tmp/xxx

That resulted in me being able to see the contents of the volume by looking 
in /tmp/xxx, but it didn't show up as a mounted volume to the Finder, and I 
couldn't get rid of it except by rebooting.  Just now, I created a 
directory in /Volumes and used that as the second argument to mount_afs, 
and then it showed up in the Finder, and I could eject it.  One 
inconsistency I noticed, though, is that the directory has to exist before 
mount_afs will mount into it, and then ejecting the volume causes the 
directory to go away.

Sorry to be so dense about this, but I feel as if I've *almost* (but not 
quite) got it...
