Unfortunately, this change is simplistic.  The AFSDSBMT.INI file is used 
to store data
both for the local user and the AFS Client Service.  The data stored in 
the file is global
but is not meant to be.  An architectural fix is going to be required to 
separate user
specific submounts from global submounts.
