[OpenAFS] Anyone seen this weirdness...

[Anne.Salemme@Dartmouth.edu]

by what method did you determine that the volume and the fileserver are 
"having problems"? did you look directly on the fileserver, or from 
another client system? if you're looking from the same client that's 
running the 'rm' or whatever command....you're getting a biased look.
