Yeah, that's a bummer.

Any off-the-top-of-the-head reasons why an OpenAFS **server** would
get upset running in user mode linux [1] with its own IP all to
itself?

If not, I'll give it a try and post back here.  I can see why this
might complicate the kernel module (client), but the server is
entirely in userspace, so unless it does extremely strange stuff it
shouldn't be able to tell the difference.
