Thanks Ted,

I tried the udebug cmd and found that the vlserver wasn't running on the AFS 
server. It wasn't in the BosConfig so I added it in and started it up. I 
stil got the quorum error after that (but much faster) so tried a bos 
restart -all and now I get this message:

# vos move -id logs.proxy -fromserver cspc1n11e -frompartition /vicepa 
-toserver localhost -topartition /vicepe
Failed to create transaction on the volume 536871060
   VOLSER: permission denied, not a super user
vos move: operation interrupted, cleanup in progress...
clear transaction contexts
move incomplete - attempt cleanup of target partition - no guarantee
cleanup complete - user verify desired result
#

I'm logged on the box as root, and I'm logged in as the AFS administrator so 
not sure why it's saying 'not a super user'
