   Incorrect.  The owner of a directory has implicit "a" access on the
   directory.  If the directory is the root of the volume, then the user
   has implicit "a" access on the entire volume.  So any directories with
   mode 32766 should be fixed.  I am about to change the AFS sources so
   that this owner check does not apply to the anonymous id (and I will
   send this back to Transarc).

Is this really true?  It doesn't seem to work in the SIPB cell.  But
then again, maybe I'm doing something wrong.  I'm sure you know a lot
more about AFS than I do.....
