Hi all, this is clearly a misbehaviour of the xrootd door of dCache. Several problems with the current implementation of dCache's xrootd server engine came up recently, which make us dCache people think about rewriting the engine (mostly from scratch). The most important goal of the new engine will being as compatible as possible with XrdClient (thanks Farbrizio for the help you offered, it is and will be very useful to improve compatibility). The engine will be written in JAVA and be mostly decoupled from dCache. It will run embeddeded in dCache doors as well as dCache pools, communicating with the dCache backend via callbacks. About PROOF: since some ATLAS guys (Munich and Brookhaven) trying to integrate dCache with PROOF, this topic appeared on my radar and I will certainly look into this.
