the Java API looked promising, but requires a kaserver cell.
so doesnt work with kerberos setups

Java supports Kerberos 5 (DES only) built-in. It can obtain
Kerberos credentials from the OS cache via a JAAS module.
It should not be too hard to update the Java AFS libraries to
support Kerberos 5.

Maybe that'll solve a few problems with the Java API :-)
It uses some userspace "client" functionality.

I never had the time to really look deep into it so I always recommended people not to use the authentication stuff.
The only thing I know is that you'll not able to get a token with that library. On some functionality it's a little inconsistent in design.
If somone's interested in future discussion about this just mail me ;-)
