What is the output of "tokens" and "fs listacl ~/mail" ?

I suspect that you have lost AFS tokens for some reason (maybe they 
expired?). To new one, run kinit (to ensure you have kerberos tickets) and 
then aklog.

If you plan to stay logged in for an extended period of time, I recommend 
using some method of keeping valid tokens. I run this script, 
/afs/hcoop.net/user/j/ja/jackhill/arch/share/bin/cont-renew-notify in the 
background (although there is currently a bug so it doesn't actually 
notify).

Best,
Jack
