Take a look at /afs/cs.cmu.edu/project/systems-jhutz/factools/afsvol, and 
in particular at the 'massmove' command.  It does more or less what you 
want, though there are a couple of bits of site policy to look out for; 
particularly, the use of volume names like 'c.SERVER.PART' for "control 
volumes" for each partition (we don't use these anymore, but the script 
knows not to move them).  In the case of RO volumes, it will do the 
addsite,remsite,release, and spit out a list of old RO volumes to 'vos zap' 
later; this is because older AFS clients required up to 2 hours to notice 
that an RO site had been discontinued.
