I don't have access to the cell until this evening, so I can't try the
suggestions made (using udebug, etc) until then, but I think it's very
likely that the third (newest) machine may have been restarted first - we
rebooted all three servers just to make sure everything was loaded properly,
and I think that one may have come up first.

If that's the case, and assuming that the three are in sync, even if they're
syncing an empty database, can I just recreate the "afs" and "admin" accounts
with UIDs of 0 and 1 respectively, setting the "afs" password to be the same
as the KeyFile, and setting the ADMIN flag on "admin"?  Or is that a no-no
due to them being there before?  Guess I can always try it and see... :)
