That smells like it can't find your CellServDB or like there's something
wrong with it.  Your local server CellServDB should be in the
/etc/openafs/server directory.

Since you're using the Debian packages, you may want to try using
afs-newcell rather than running the scripts by hand.  It tries to set up a
sane initial server configuration for you.
