Kevin: I have been unable to re-create the "Dr" problem in the afs_config drive mappings. However, I advise against using that tool. I believe that all drive mappings should be made using the Explorer. There is nothing special about a AFS drive mapping. Simply map a drive letter using Explorer to the UNC path within AFS.
As for Global Drive Mappings. They should not be used. Microsoft
deprecated the functionality in Windows 2000 and its use can result
in unpredictable behavior.
