[OpenAFS] AFS Server on Apple Xserve

I apologize if I send this on two lists, but I'm getting desperate.

I'm trying to install OpenAFS on an Apple Xserve (running OS 10.2). The 
client part works without a hitch, but the server is driving me nuts (I 
no problem installing it on my RedHat).

My current stumbling point is the "/vicepxx" partition: after managing 
to get the Xserve to mount the disk where I wanted (the standard tools 
will mount the disk under "/Volumes..."), I still can't get the 
volumeserver to see it (I've tried formatting it as both HFS and UFS). 
Here's what I get with different tools:

    : mount
    /dev/disk4 on /vicepa (local)
    : df /vicepa
    Filesystem  512-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
    /dev/disk4   233777984        8 222089088     0%    /vicepa
    : disktool -l
    ***Disk Appeared ('disk4',Mountpoint = '/vicepa', fsType = 'ufs',
    volName = 'VICE')

Yet ....

    : vos create koura.cns.nyu.edu /vicepa root.afs -cell fmri.nyu.edu
    -noauth
    vos : partition /vicepa does not exist on the server
    : vos listp koura.cns.nyu.edu -noauth
    The partitions on the server are:

    Total: 0

Has anyone out there gotten a server to run on Mac OS X Server ?

Thanks,
