What I'm doing is adding another server to an existing cell.  I'm
pretty certain the existing cell is RW since I can actually RW to the current server.  The problem is trying to add the other server to the cell.

ok, so this is my result:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
fs mkmount -dir /afs/mycell/myserver2-afs -vol 536571001 -cell mycell; vos release -id 536571001
fs: You can not change a backup or readonly volume
Volume 536571001 has no replicas - release operation is meaningless!
VOLSER: illegal operation
Error in vos release command.
VOLSER: illegal operation
