I did do --enable-transarc-paths, but the binary build on openafs.org  
puts things in /Library/OpenAFS and /var/db/openafs, not in /usr/vice,  
so I assume there is something else that rearranges things for the  
installer.

But I'm also concerned if some other option other than  
--enable-transarc-paths needs to be set for configure.

When I try to replicate the root.afs and root.cell, it fails when I try  
to release and fails during salvaging.  I fix things up without  
replication, and when I try to delete a file, it takes a long time, and  
then the fileserver goes offline.  I try to salvage, and directories  
are missing.  I'm now at the point where /afs doesn't even respond.

Here are some errors from SalvageLog:

There are also repeats of the following line in BosLog:

OK, I'll give it a try.
