Should it be "cern.ch" in ThisCell or is it just a typo ?

Arlad -t means that you should run arlad in test-mode, and you have to that
as root since it uses /usr/arla/cache for the cachefiles, and that
directory is usually owned by root.

If you what things to appear under /afs you must not run it in test mode.
Please try to run the startarla script in /usr/arla/bin/startarla. It might
do what you want to do. Otherwise there is detailed installation help in
the INSTALL file the tar file.

It will mount the whole afs space under /afs. If you login to your cern
computer and the type ``/bin/pwd'' you'll probably find out where in afs
your home-directory is. You might also ask your sysadmin at cern.
