[OpenAFS-port-darwin] web browsers cannot save to homedir in afs

[Joseph Jackson]

You might want to run "ktrace" on the browser process as you try to save a 
file. The "kdump" command is used to interpret the output of ktrace. There 
will be lots of output, so leave the tracing on for as short a period as 
possible. See the man page for all the details.

This will leave you with a log of all system calls that were made. I 
believe errors are pointed out as well. This might give a clue about what's 
going wrong.
