I thought of this solution already. Two reasons why it doesn't help:
1. Mail handlers typically lock the folder, not some other file. I know
there is /usr/spool/mail/user.lock, but this doesn't help as not all
the folders I am dealing with are somebody's system mailbox.
2. As afsd works asynchronously, if I release the lock on file B after
closing file A there is probably no guarantee for the file server and
for other AFS clients to see that information in the same order.
