Tobias,

File a bug report against the application that is querying volume
information for the root directory of a drive mapping instead of for the
path that the application is actually interested in.  The AFS redirector
reports each volume change in the path as a reparse point.  It is up to
the application to query for free space in the correct volume.  A
readonly volume by definition has zero bytes free.

As a work around for applications that cannot be fixed, use a drive
letter mapping to the root of the volume you wish the application to access.
