The release and testers versions of "attach" both refuse to remove an
AFS "filesystem" from attachtab if the mountpoint symlink does not
exist. Since the definition of "attached" for AFS is that a symlink
exists at the mountpoint, lack of a symlink is not a fatal error: it
indicates that the filesystem was already detached. Attach should
print a message like "already detached, continuing" as it does for NFS
when attachtab does not correspond to reality.
