Find out what ThisCell is (presumably /etc/openafs/ThisCell)
Look for it in CellServDB (presumably /etc/openafs/CellServDB)

does it have more than one server listed? are they all (or at least a
majority) up? 

pick one you know to be up
udebug (hostname) 7004
what do you see? you should see one of
Host's addresses are: 128.2.120.216 
...
I am not sync site
Lowest host 128.2.12.45 was set 8 secs ago
Sync host 128.2.12.45 was set 8 secs ago

in which case, try udebug (sync site) 7004
or you should see:
Host's addresses are: 128.2.12.45 
...
I am sync site until 45 secs from now (at Thu Jul 18 11:59:36 2002) (2
servers)
...
Server (128.2.120.216): (db 1026637525.8)
...

and server lines for all of the servers other than the one you're looking
at

If you don't, your servers are misconfigured, and you'll have to provide
more information.
