The AFS root is a strange kind of animal, with mountpoints to cells far far
away. And as Finder tries to get details on each and every entry in /afs,
you'll have to wait. Especially if some of them aren't even accessible. Of
course, if you just have a few, well connected cells there, you should be
ok. Try doing 'ls /afs' in the terminal to see what you've got without the
waiting.

If you start Arla at boot, or with the Arla Configuration app, it uses
/usr/arla/etc/DynRootDB to generate /afs. startarla just uses your cell's
root.afs, which may contain too much. I'd recommend running the Arla
Configuration app, selecting the cells you need, and do Stop+Start
(authentication is needed).

Of course, we've found a few issues with 0.41, including a performance
problem for some directory lookups. I like the current CVS version better
:)

Did you solve the tokens problem?
