I recently got a "tokens expired" message for my uid in the athena cell.
The message is not from a previous login.  I guess the AFS server
decided to expire my tokens for some reason.  After this message, I was
not able to write to my homedir, even though "tokens" claimed that I
still had unexpired tokens from the current session.  I know that
"tokens" just reads strings from the kernel, so they could still be
invalid even if they are unexpired.

(I ran aklog again this point, and I could write to my homedir.)
