  There's also arla (afs working client, and server that I'm not sure of
  the status).

There are two implementations of afs; arla and openafs.  For an afs server
you are probably better off with openafs.  For client I don't think either
one works well on 6.x, although arla is probably closer to working than
openafs.

If anyone wants to work on the openafs client I will be happy to point you
in the right direction, and take care of merging the result in to the
openafs cvs.
