First you need to make sure user "serdar" has read- and execute-rights for the directory the file is in.

Then you have to do as i already suggested for the directory, but with the file: either you make it readable by everyone (that would include your user in question), or you make the group set of the user include the group which owns the file (i suppose you do not want to give the file ownership away from root, otherwise you could have the file directly be owned by the user).

I suggest you really read the mentioned tutorial by perderabo.

PTS_LISTOWNED(1)					       AFS Command Reference						  PTS_LISTOWNED(1)

NAME
pts_listowned - Show the Protection Database groups owned by a user or group SYNOPSIS
pts listowned -nameorid <user or group name or id>+ [-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-localauth] [-force] [-help] pts listo -na <user or group name or id>+ [-c <cell name>] [-no] [-l] [-f] [-h] DESCRIPTION
The pts listowned command lists the groups owned by each user or group specified by the -nameorid argument. To list any orphaned groups, whose owners have themselves been deleted from the Protection Database, provide a value of 0 (zero) for the -nameorid argument. To change the owner to a user or group that still exists, use the pts chown command. OPTIONS
-nameorid <user or group name or id>+ Specifies the name or AFS UID of each user, or the name or AFS GID of each group, for which to display the list of owned groups. It is acceptable to mix users and groups on the same command line, as well as names and IDs. Precede the GID of each group with a hyphen to indicate that it is negative. A value of 0 (zero) lists group entries for groups whose owners no longer have entries in the Protection Database. -cell <cell name> Names the cell in which to run the command. For more details, see pts(1). -force Enables the command to continue executing as far as possible when errors or other problems occur, rather than halting execution at the first error. -help Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored. -localauth Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. Do not combine this flag with the -cell or -noauth options. For more details, see pts(1). -noauth Assigns the unprivileged identity anonymous to the issuer. For more details, see pts(1). OUTPUT
The first line of the output indicates the name and AFS UID or AFS GID of each user or group for which ownership information is requested, in the following format: Groups owned by <name> (id: <ID>) are: A list of groups follows. The list does not include groups owned by groups that the user or group owns, or to which the user or group belongs. If the user or group does not own any groups, only the header line appears. The following error message appears if the issuer is not privileged to view ownership information. By default, for both user and group entries the second privacy flag is the hyphen, which denies permission to anyone other than the user (for a user entry) and the members of the system:administrators group. pts: Permission denied so failed to get owner list for <name> (id: <ID>) EXAMPLES
The following example lists the groups owned by user terry and shows that the group "terry:friends" does not own any groups: % pts listowned terry terry:friends Groups owned by terry (id: 1045) are: terry:friends terry:project1 terry:project2 Groups owned by terry:friends (id: -673) are: PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The required privilege depends on the setting of the second privacy flag in the Protection Database entry of each user or group indicated by the -nameorid argument (use the pts examine command to display the flags): o If it is the hyphen and the -nameorid argument specifies a group, only the members of the system:administrators group and the owner of a group can list the groups it owns. o If it is the hyphen and the -nameorid argument specifies a user, only the members of the system:administrators group and the associated user can list the groups he or she owns. o If it is uppercase letter "O", anyone who can access the cell's database server machines can list the groups owned by this user or group.
