I have been looking for a while trying to figure out the syntax of the
"rdata" field for AFSDB records.

Any help/pointers would be greatly appreciated.

I can get host, dig etc. to tell me they are getting a response of the
right type, but the data does not seem to be there.

The tinydns-data entry format I am using is:
:fqdn.somewhere.com:18:((what goes here?)):<ttl>

Well, I can't tell you about tinydns's bizarre non-standard file format.

Using the internet standard zone file format, the format of the data for an AFSDB resource record consists of a number followed by a domain name.

The number is a subtype; for AFS database servers the correct value is '1'.
The domain name is the canonical fully-qualified name of a database server;
for cells with multiple database servers, publish multiple records.
