translate_et 70354689
70354689 (acfg).1 = could not find entry

That would be AFSCONF_NOTFOUND

pr_Initialize calls:
         code = afsconf_GetCellInfo(tdir, cell, "afsprot", &info);
         if (code) {
             fprintf(stderr, "libprot: Could not locate cell %s in %s/%s\n",
                     cell, confDir, AFSDIR_CELLSERVDB_FILE);
             return code;
         }

The only thing interesting here is "afsprot", which in GetCellInfo 
triggers:
         if (aservice) {
             tservice = afsconf_FindService(aservice);
             if (tservice < 0) {
                 UNLOCK_GLOBAL_MUTEX return AFSCONF_NOTFOUND;    /* service 
not found */
             }


But in our serviceTable we have:
     {"afsprot", 7002,},

So I assume afsconf_Open somehow fails or fails to parse CellServDB: is it 
readable to the user you're running this as? Can you point us at a literal 
copy of the file? (like, cp it somewhere)
