"afsd won't start" means you got what error message?
"nor will pts work at all" means you got what error message?

I have not checked the code, but I would not be surprised if a CellServDB 
entry for the local cell was required when running without dynroot enabled.

No, and if it's working at all for you, it's turned on.
However "the CellServDB has priority" means that an entry for your cell 
with no servers means the cell has no servers.  As I said, it's possible 
and even likely that the cache manager treats this case differently from 
the user-mode tools.
