What says vos ex root.afs?

I guess that the vldb contains the wrong address and your client 
therefore tries to
contact the fileserver 127.0.0.1 which is he himself. But there is no 
filserver running.

if the vldb for some reason got the 127.0.0.1 associated with this 
volume you may try
vos changeaddr 127.0.0.1 <correct ip adress>
to solve the problem.
