There will be a patch in the upcoming 3.2a release for a problem with
.netrc on AIX machines. I think the error you get is 'invalid mode on
.netrc'.

Ref:
DELTA vas-3.3-2859.aix.fix.access.call 1.1
Aix's access call has additional paramaters such as ACC_OTHERS, ACC_ANY,
ACC_ALL to deal with individual mode bits of "other" and "group". Although
in afs we don't deal with such unix protection bits much we have to
fully support such calls since programs like ftp use them to check the mode
bits intead of ORing the mode bits as the rest of the systems do.
The afs version of aix's access vop function, afs_gn_access has been enhanced
to support the special features of aix 3.x access call.
