[OpenAFS] New Server problems

[Michael Robokoff]

Actually, I found the problem. This was the result of the
bos command not actually restarting the processes. I have 
all the CellServBD files the same now and all are running.
I just had to manually kill and restart the processes.

Thanks for the info tho.
