Vadim posted an 'su' program here last year, I saved it at
http://www.ecf.toronto.edu/plan9/info/misc/su

The root of your file server (in this case, /n/kfs) is distinct in many
ways from the root of your namespace (/).  This takes some getting used to.
Try the following instead:

     disk/kfscmd allow
     cd /n/kfs
     mkdir mail

If you then look in /, you'll find /mail

> Any pointers?

The manpages: root(3), mnt(3)
