Using the openafs.org RPM, slightly modified (with fsync patch and linux/autoconf.h replacing linux/config.h), aklog -setpag seems to get a token, but...doesn't.
You haven't said what kernel and AFS versions you're using, but I'm going to bet they're pretty new, since you did say you're running FC6. The -setpag switch uses an AFS system call which violates a basic UNIX design principle, by allowing the process that calls it (aklog) to modify the execution environment of its parent (your shell). That mechanism has always been somewhat ugly, and it's likely that with kernels new enough to require keyring-based PAG tracking, it has never worked and never will. What's probably going on here is that aklog's PAG is being changed, but that of the parent shell is not, so your tokens are being dropped into the great abyss.
I'd suggest you stop using -setpag entirely. Instead, consider using pagsh, which gives you a new shell with a new PAG, along the same lines as newgrp.
