I thought NTFS was in play because OpenAFS wouldn't let me use a ext3 drive mounted using a IFS driver (ext2anywhere).
Are you trying to serve files from Windows, or serve files to Windows? In the former case, you aren't exporting a view of a FAT or NTFS. In the latter case, the drive you get is neither FAT nor NTFS.

No, so you misinterpreted Brandon's comment. Don't worry. A murderous cyborg is on its way over to clean him up now.
In other words, I can't store all types of unix files on an OpenAFS volume. I couldn't, for example use OpenAFS to serve Linux ThinClients - re: ltsp.org ?
You can't store device nodes or sockets in AFS. sockets, because the model doesn't make sense. device nodes, because major/minor are non-portable.
Has precious little to do with ACLs.
