[OpenAFS] Newbie: Problems connection to my new cell: /afs: Operation timed out

Hi,

I followed the quick install instructions to setup a new afs cell/server 
on my gentoo linux machine.
It seems that everything worked out fine. I have a working root.cell on 
the linux machine under /afs/nikwest

Now I tried to access it from my Mac OS X machine. I set my cell to 
nikwest (as defined on my server) and edited the CellServDB to include 
my cell information:
 >nikwest        #Cell name
10.0.1.9    #loki.home.nikwest.de.

Unfortunately when I try to access the /afs directory I get the 
following message:
[icebox:db/openafs/etc] dominik% cd /afs
/afs: Operation timed out.

I have no idea what the problem is. I can check the status of the 
server, it also gets listed and I can use klog to log in  as admin, but 
I can't access the /afs directory.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Dominik
