I missed those files ... anyway, cleaned it up, but now I get:

  # klog admin
Password:
Unable to authenticate to AFS because a pioctl failed.

Using a "wrong" password, I get the error to be expected:

  # klog admin
Password:
Unable to authenticate to AFS because password was incorrect.

Did the whole thing twice, still the same result :(

this is starting to annoy me ;)
