As far as I recall you were having trouble with the creation and/or 
access to "VolumeItems".
You got an error similar to ENOENT.

 From your information I don't see any connection other than your 
previous kernel module perhaps wasn't build for the kernel you were 
using it on but that you should have been noticing before. ;-)

Well, anyway ...
since you got the same error  with memcache, too, it won't be any 
option of your file system.

The only thing I can think of is, you built against another kernel or 
you had some of the links the Makefile creates made to another kernel 
sourcetree.
The only option which has some influence here is the one about version 
information in kernel modules.

BTW, enjoy your working AFS :-)
