[OpenAFS] can't move volume

I've been having some issues with a specific volume that I'd like to move=
 to=20
another machine:

# /usr/afs/bin/vos move martin chandra b padmanabha a -localauth -verbose
Starting transaction on source volume 536870981 ... done
Cloning source volume 536870981 ... done
Ending the transaction on the source volume 536870981 ... done
Starting transaction on the cloned volume 536871147 ... done
Creating the destination volume 536870981 ...Failed to create the destina=
tion=20
volume 536870981
   : Input/output error
vos move: operation interrupted, cleanup in progress...
clear transaction contexts
access VLDB
move incomplete - attempt cleanup of target partition - no guarantee
cleanup complete - user verify desired result
#

After this I must salvage the volume it created on padmanabha (and get a =
bogus=20
volume):

and then i can zap (or remove)  it without any trouble, and I start the=20

somewhat confused as to what exactly I've tried. Any suggestions?  I've f=

a few things on the list involving the use of strace and then deleting so=

offending files on /vicepa, but i'm not comfortable with this w/o some=20
specific guidance.  Any suggestions? Oh, yeah: openafs-1.2.9a, SuSE 81,=20
kernel: k_deflt-2.4.19-74, /vicepa (on target) is reiserfs on software ra=
id5.

Thanks kindly for any advice.
