Did you really mean to put the machines into different AFS cells?  The
easy way to provide mobility is to put the clients into the same cell. 
This would mean creating one cell for one machine and then simply adding
the second machine to the existing cell.

If you really want different cells, then indeed (as Derek says) you need
to indicate the realm in which you want authentication to happen.
