[OpenAFS] Protection database already exists

[Matt Chipman]

Hi,

I am really struggling with this error below.  Using Debian etch 
(stable) and openafs debs.  Have setup the server and associated apps 
according to the readme.servers in the doc directory also followed the 
install transcript in the same.

I have install the test server 3 times and am getting the same error 
each time.  Deleting the database does not remove the error and just 
recreates the database files while returning the same error.

what am I missing?

thanks
