Sure thing. The problem there is this is on linux boxes at work, which  
go down very infrequently and I don't have root access to. I've  
reported it to the sysadmins so they are aware of the problem, but  
there isn't much I can do as a mere user. On my OSX machine though I  
do have root access so it is easier to debug.

One thing though - The network is pretty well always available when I  
shut these machines ? Do you mean when the network has been shutdown,  
or when there is a problem with the network ? I don't think the issue  
is the network is off but AFS hasn't noticed.
