ARGHH!!!!

I am not sure which of the 3 or 4 things I tried resolved the problem, but I
had NOT been looking at dmesg output, and it showed:

You must reload the AFS kernel extensions before remounting AFS.

I rebooted when the docs suggested, /afs didn't mount, so then I started
tweaking things.  I simply re-ran "openafs-client start", but that was not
sufficient.  One of the changes fixed this, but I can't tell which one.

A second reboot resulted in AFS mounting fine.  I'm going to try to
reproduce this, and see if I can't figure out exactly why it didn't work.
If I'm going to patch the QSG, I want to make sure what I document actually
works...

Thanks for everything so far.
