Permission Denied on "cd /sfs/server..."

Hello,

I'm trying to set up sfs on my Debian server so that I can connect to it from my
MacBook (running OS X 10.4.7). I'm using the packages from Debian on the server
(the version is called 0.8-0+pre20060720) and I compiled from the cvs sources on
the Mac (from today, 11/13/2006). On the Mac I can get to the test server
(/sfs/@sfs.fs.net,uzwadtctbjb3dg596waiyru8cx5kb4an) and read the files there,
but when I cd to what should be my Debian machine I get permission denied.

The problem is I can't figure out where in the chain the error is coming from. I
suspect the server is misconfigured since I can connect to the sfs.fs.net server
from the Mac. I've tried running both the client and server in -d mode with
A*_TRACE style environment variables set to 10, but I see no obvious errors.
ktrace on the Mac client predicably shows the chdir syscall returning the
permission denied error but I'm not sure how to trace back further to find the
ultimate cause of the problem.

Oh, when I "sfskey login" it does not give an error, but it also does not create
the symlink in /sfs as the documentation says it should.

Is there anything anyone can suggest I look into?

Should I post my logs here? (And is there anything in the logs that gives away
private keys or passwords that I need to strip?)

Any help, pointers or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
  David
