Did you check the setuid bits on the AFS version of the files?
Copying them into AFS when you aren't a system administrator would
almost certainly strip off that information.  Use "ls -lg" on both
directories and carefully compare the output.

If the mode bits, owner, or group ids are different, become root, get
a new pag, and authenticate as a system administrator.  Then you will
be able to correct the situation with "chgrp", "chown", and "chmod".
