I assume that "bigcell" is the mount point for root.cell in your root.afs. If 
a client wants to access /afs/bigcell the volume root.cell.readonly is needed 
becaus AFS folllows the read-only path as long as posible. But this volume is 
offline. So you get "Connection timed out". You should try to get 
root.cell.readonly online again.
