We use TSM's AFS-capable client to back up the AFS space.
It respects the AFS permisions and mount points, the only problem
is that it needs the admin token and, unfortunately, there is no
equivalent of the "-localauth" option. I did not want to store
the password in a file so after the machine (AIX AFS+TSM server)
boots, I manually start a daemon that renews the admin token for
root every 10 hours or so. I hope it's secure since the root
on this machine has local AFS server access anyway. I can send you
the source core or post it here if you want.
