You really should have just copied the KeyFile.  And NOT try and use 
asetkey again.  This is likely what broke things for you.  Do your 
server keys match?  Check through the AFS server logs on the original 
"good old" server to see what is going on.  And make sure all your 
CellServDB files are indeed pointing at the "good old" one.

There are all kinds of things that could be messed up now.  Shutdown the 
new fileserver and get the "good old" one working again.  Then copy the 
KeyFile and turn on the new fileserver.

I'd still recomend the #openafs channel on Freenode IRC instead of 
waiting between emails.
