[OpenAFS] Could not start transaction

[Ron Croonenberg]

ok this is what I am trying to do

/usr/sbin/vos dump -id 536872008 -f /data/afs-dump/test.tst -server
afs-1 -partition /vicepa -cell csc.depauw.edu -localauth

and I have root in the file /usr/afs/etc/UserList

That should work, when I execute that as root, right ?

But I am getting these errors:
Could not start transaction on the volume 536872008 to be dumped
   VOLSER: permission denied, not a super user
VOLSER: permission denied, not a super user
Error in vos dump command.
VOLSER: permission denied, not a super user

 her's. It isn't our's either. It's ours, and likewise yours and
 theirs.
