Hi Mike,

Thanks for the script! This is very useful.

I had a little bit of trouble decipering the following message:
fatal: vldb missing id. ok at ../afs-audit-volumes line 455, <LISTVLDB> 
line 5616.

but I figured out that there's an IP address in vldb that doesn't 
resolve and won't ping. A more descriptive error message would be 
useful. It would also be useful if this error wasn't fatal. I got past 
the error by removing the appropriate line in the listvldb file.

The documentation is great. I found a minor problem with the for loop in 
the docs:
     for $s in `cat myservers`

should be:
     for s in `cat myservers`

I suggest adding "use Carp;" at the top and replacing the "die" calls 
with "croak" as is good practice according to the _Perl Best Practices_ 
book published by O'Reilly.

I found several issues that I can address including some some 
discrepancies between vos listvldb and vos listvol and the previously 
mentioned RO on a non-existent server.

Do you plan to submit this for addition in the openafs suite?

Thanks,
Jason
