I had a similar effect some days ago in MR-AFS and it turned out that 
the reason was that the field to keep the file name 
/viceps/salvage.inodes.c2t0d2s6.2142... was too short. So it had created 
the file, but the name he was looking for was cut off at the end. Have a 
look into vol-salvage.c! Seems to be a problem on Solaris with its long 
device names.
