Ignore the error.  What's happening here is that vos is stepping over a 
list, printing out each entry, and that error is what gets reported when it 
hits the end of the list sooner than expected.  There is a fix for this in 
1.3.x which avoids printing the spurious error message, but it apparently 
never got pulled up to the stable branch.

If 'vos listvl -server nebula' actually shows any volumes, then yes, it 
should probably appear in that output.  However, there are some cases in 
which it might not, depending on the version of 'vos' you're using and 
exactly what data is in the VLDB.

It might be enlightening to see the output of 'vos listaddrs -host nebula'.
