Ha!  Well, that was a short-lived expectation.  Everything seemed to  
work ok, with the exception of the following error messages that  
appeared in the system.log output:

# this appeared 3 times
angst kernel[0]: afs: byte-range lock/unlock ignored; make sure no  
one else is running this program.

# later this appeared 4 times
angst kernel[0]: afs: Lost contact with file server X.X.X.X in cell  
delamancha.org (multi-homed address; other same-host interfaces maybe  
up)

And, sadly, my volumes have gone walking and taken the data with  
them.  :-(

vos listvldb shows 17 volumes in total
vos listvol angst shows only 5 volumes and all of those off-line.

*sigh*

To UFS we must go! To UFS we must go!
