[OpenAFS] Knfs doesn't work on an AFS/NFS translator under OpenAFS

[Renata Maria Dart]

We use jumpstart to install our solaris systems and we use the 
translator in the jumpstart post-installation script to install
AFS on those systems.  We also have a handful of ancient NeXTs 
which use it (I know, I'm not likely to get much sympathy there).
