Done (in the R/W volume). Should be visible by next AFS propagation.
Jonathon also reports a second issue:

This could be a real hassle- acroread is intricately bound to Netscape/Mozilla
configuration settings that rely on these paths, and things would almost
surely break and take a lot of work on my and Todd's part to fix if we changed
this. I really don't want to mess around with this unless it's absolutely
essential.
