My guess is that your AFS client's cache is filling up the disk on which 
it is located.  Ideally, you should put the cache in its own partition, 
but in any case you need to make sure the size specified in the 
cacheinfo file (/usr/vice/etc) is small enough that it can be held in 
the disk on which /usr/vice/cache exists.  Try these two commands:

% cat /usr/vice/etc/cacheinfo
/afs:/usr/vice/cache:100000
% df -k /usr/vice/cache
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdc3             18492060   3473932  14078776  20% /

The size in cacheinfo is in KB, so in my example I need 100MB free in /. 
  What are your numbers?
