[OpenAFS] vos move & vos rel failing on large volumes

[Stephen Joyce]

FWIW, I see ~6 minutes (6:09 to be exact) to move a 2.45 GB volume
containing a mix of file sizes.  This is between two solaris 8 servers.

Both times I've had trouble moving volumes in the past it's been related to
network/connectivity issues (speed or duplex mismatch, etc).

Cheers,
Stephen
