This is just wrong.

Use the <foo>.krb functions instead of the <foo> functions.  e.g.,
klog.krb.  This will give you a ticket file w/ TGT.  These programs
are distributed by Transarc.

Um, Ken, you're confused.  You don't use the AFS service key; you
create a new POP service key, which you store in the KAServer.  Also,
you use the CURRENT, unspecified KPOP protocol.  The MIT Kerberos
Distributions contain both client and server code for KPOP.
