[OpenAFS] Communication errors on volume operations

[Matt Benjamin]

Hi Bryn,

Is this a DAFS file server?  If so, then probably a known behavior, 
although I'm not certain it should be seen in 1.5.55 (Tom?)   As you 
imply, the volume can in that case be salvaged and then brought on-line 
(bos salvage -forceDAFS).
