I tried making mount points with ln, and this is what I came up with:
ln -s #user.davisoja foo
makes "foo" a mountpoint for #user.davisoj (yes, minus the last
character). So...
ln -s #user.davisoja. foo and
ln -s #user.davisoja# foo
both make a correct mount point for #user.davisoja, so apparently you need
one extra char at the end of your volume name, but it might not matter
what that extra char is. Also,
ln -s #156841231X foo
will also work, where 156841231 is the volume ID and X is some char.
I didn't include anything about cell name, so I didn't figure out how to
mount a volume from another cell using this method.
Anyone else figure out more?

P.S. This is all with transarc AFS on AIX.
