[OpenAFS] Could not start transaction

Yes I know, that is why I wanted to use -localauth. That way I can run 
the script as a crontab without having to mess with tokens

No I am not using kerberos.

Actually I am not running the script on an afs server. I run it on a 
machine with a bunch of tape drives and have the openafs-client 
installed on it. I did that on anther machine first and that just worked.

As I said.  It seems to work fine when I get a token as admin. And it 
used to run fine on another box with -localauth and running the script 
as root.

bos listuser -server afs-1
SUsers are: admin root ronc cowboy
