This is a known regression introduced by
dafs-accurately-track-inuse-20080317.  It's been a while since I
looked into this issue, but as I recall, we need to add more state to
struct Volume in order to deal with the vos create case.

Out of curiosity, exactly what do you mean?  Did the dafs volserver
fail all volume transactions for this volid after the vos create left
the volume in an offline state?  Did the salvageserver fail to fix the
problem during a demand salvage?  Something else?
