This is not normal.  In fact, this sounds exactly like a bug
in the Vista release candidates that was fixed literally weeks
before release to manufacturing.  In that case, the Netbios stack
would deliver messages for \\AFS to the local machine file sharing
server.

Under this circumstance, it is impossible to communicate with
the AFS cache manager.  Hence the error that the device may not
have been started.

What is the output of "nbstat -n" and "nbstat -S"?

What does %windir%\temp\afsd_init.log indicate?
