It doesn't work that way in AFS - AFS does have some implicit rights,
but if you don't have a read ACL for a directory, you can't access
files in it, regardless of their ownership.
I wonder how they can do something like that reliably in a cross realm
context.
Files that get written to a volume in a cell are owned by the user's
ID in that cell's protection service database, not by the local UID
on the machine which wrote them.
