Cool, thanks for the tip.... now the weird part: as soon as I put that
up, *it started working*.  I dunno why.  I get some odd behaviour tho:
I trimmed my CellServDB down to remove all the cells except for mine,
but they still seem to be in the cache, and doing 'ls /afs' shows a
lot of things like:

ls: /afs/wam.umd.edu: No such device
ls: /afs/umich.edu: No such device
ls: /afs/citi.umich.edu: No such device
ls: /afs/lsa.umich.edu: No such device
ls: /afs/umr.edu: No such device

... how do I clean this up?
