Thanks. I tried it with:

root [0] gSystem->Load("libRFIO");
root [1] TRFIOFile f1 =
TRFIOFile("rfio:/castor/cern.ch/user/s/schieck/mc2790_1_111.root");
Error in <TRFIOFile::TRFIOFile>: file
/castor/cern.ch/user/s/schieck/mc2790_1_111.root does not exist

and still I cannot see the files in CASTOR directly. If I try to access
the root file via the link with

root [2] TRFIOFile f1 = TRFIOFile("rfio:link.root");

and start the viewer

root [3] TTree *ntuple1 = f1.Get("h10");
root [4] ntuple1->StartViewer();

I get again a crash. It still doesn't work.
