Chad,
The acl of the parent directory has an affect on the behaviour of
'fs la...', although I can't find anything appropriate to quote from
the AFS manuals. Since you owned and had all rights on the parent of
the 'test' directory you made, I believe that is why you could look
at the acl on it.
To illustrate:
athena% fs la /afs/athena/user/y/a/yandros
Access list for /afs/athena/user/y/a/yandros is
....
athena% fs la /afs/athena/user/y/a/yandros/Private
fs: File '/afs/athena/user/y/a/yandros/Private' doesn't exist
So, I (as system:anyuser) have rl access to the top level of your
homedir, but I can't see the acl on your Private directory under it.
Maybe I've been around this stuff too long, but I don't think there's
a bug here, more like...a feature!
