you dont need to osi_Assert() here actually since the later code 
handles the condition where volumeID == NULL. 

i imagine they need to do this instead of grabbing both the 
afs_xvcache and afs_xvolume locks because they drop the afs_xvcache
lock while iterating afs_vhashT[].  this is probably one of those
bits of afs that needs a bit of work.
