I’ve spoken to Achim Gsell <[email protected]> who is an administrator here at
PSI. As Jeffrey suggested it appears to be a firewall issue on the Mac which
for whatever reason seems to be restricted to afsfs11.psi.ch.

As a quick fix I can just disable the Mac's firewall and easily get access.
However, I’d hope for a more permanent solution that would work with the
firewall enabled. 

Thanks!
