Client side utilities generally look at
	FHS			transarc
	/etc/openafs		/usr/vice/etc
while server side binaries look at:
	/etc/openafs/server	/usr/afs/etc
Since "bos listhosts" worked, you must have the server side
files right.  Since "bos create" failed, you probably have missing
or incomplete client side files.  Since judging by the prompts
you're actually running this on the server, an easy fix is:
ln -s /usr/afs/etc /usr/vice/etc
which will ensure your client & server binaries see the same configuration.

You could also leave off "-cell afs1.ca.com" - if you're using
"-noauth" (or "-localauth") with bos, the cell name is not
necessary and can be allowed to default to whatever.
This is why your "bos listhosts" commands immediately preceeding
work.
