[OpenAFS-port-darwin] Saving from MS Word fails, Unix permissions

[Justin L Graham]

Martin,

We have seen this same issue with AFS (as well as NFS and SMB).  Are  
you using a login script to link folders such as ~/Library/Caches to  
the local disk?  If you are then try linking the ~/Library/Caches/ 
TemporaryItems folder back to AFS space.  In our case the that folder  
had to reside on the same mounted volume (for NFS/SMB) or somewhere  
in AFS to get around this problem.
