Uhm, aren't symlinks to names with leading `#':s really mount points
in AFS?

You can remove the file with "fs rmm TEST". I don't see any
inconsistency that would indicate cache corruptions when trying the
above.

The same thing happens with Transarc AFS but with slightly different
result:

abba$ ls -F
abba$ ln -s '#test' TEST
abba$ ls -F
ls: TEST: Operation not supported by device
abba$ fs rmm TEST
abba$ ls -F

So it seems that the ln "should" succeed and the errno's returned
"should" be EOPTNOTSUPP instead.
