server OS: win2k
client OS: rh9
openafs: 1.77
problem: I get the following error message if I try fs mkmount:


[root@anyclient]# vos listvol -server myserver.edu
Total number of volumes on server myserver.edu partition /vicepg: 1
myserver-afs                         536821022 RW          2 K On-line

Total volumes onLine 1 ; Total volumes offLine 0 ; Total busy 0

[root@anyclient]# fs mkmount -dir /afs/mycell/myserver-afs -vol 536821022 -cell mycell
fs: You can not change a backup or readonly volume

What is the problem here, and how can I fix it?
FYI, the commands above weren't issued from the system where the cell is
located.
