I have have narrowed this problem down to this:
If the attached locker is on NFS, 'du <dirpath>' will work, with or
without the trailing forward-slash, but if the locker is on AFS, you
must have the trailing slash, or else 'du' will produce no output.
What should have happened:
It should ignore the trailing '/' in any directory path, and
should definitely not require it for either NFS or AFS.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
