Right

So I create the directory in volumes:

    mkdir /Volumes/jwelch

Then I mount the volume:
    mount_afs user.jwelch /Volumes/jwelch

I get the icon on the desktop, but it's named "/"

Via the command line, I have full access

Via the finder? Nothing. I know my UID matches, and I have tickets, because
if I just traverse the AFS tree to my homedir, that works fine.
