4.4 is ancient. If it still has to be SL4, why not at least 4.5? And if it
doesn't, I'd really recommend 5.1 for a new AFS server. It comes with
packages for the latest OpenAFS release. SL4.x will get those a bit later.

He's probably using the SL RPMs. Gaurav, if that's true, this discussion
should be taken over to the scientific-linux-users list since the init
script has been quite different from the one in the openafs.org packages
for a while. We'll send you back here once we've sorted out the issues
specific to SL ;-) And just to be sure: This is not a recommendation not
to grab and use the EL4 packages from openafs.org instead of the ones
coming with SL. But whichever you use, it would be best to address the
corresponding mailing list first with these questions.

Right. The other messages probably mean that the server wasn't started
either.
