[OpenAFS] Unable to authenticate to AFS because no such entry

Hmm did what you recommended, do I shutdown afs, deleted all database files and rebooted. All users were gone. I created 1 user again in kas, bos and pts (like in the manual). I made sure this was the only user and that all settings were rcorrect. If I try to 'klog' I once again get the same error. Perhaps it's not an authentication problem, because I found this similar problem as well:

If I run 'vos listvol <server>' I get a number of volumes I created (with the localauth switch), amongst which are root.afs and root.cell. All these volumes are empty as I have never been able to enter the /afs directory. 
However, if I run 'vol listvldb <server>' it says: 'VLDB: no such entry'! 

If I now run 'vol syncvldb ...' and 'vol syncserv ...' it does show the volumes, adds them to vldb, says they are sync-ed but if I run 'vol listvldb <server>' it says: 'VLDB: no such entry' again. What is going on here? 

My VLLog file looks normal: 2 entries, 1 says which IP address is used as primary address, the other says 'starting AFS vlserver 4'
My VolserLog looks normal as well.

No, these are both correct.

I have no idea what's going on.  You might try over from scratch
again.  Delete all your DB files and start from a clean slate.
