I looked at this on Friday and failed to send mail; I was
loosely-connected all weekend.

Presumably what's happening is the fileserver is returning VREADONLY
(VGetVnode with WRITE_LOCK, from CheckVnode from GetVolumePackage),
which the client maps to EROFS.

Any new RPC might want to return other errors, but that's out of scope
for now. So, now that I have real net, the fix is in gerrit as 1895
