XFS is a journaling filesystem and as such needs some percentage of
the device for its journal (or log).

You could try to temporarily remount the filesystem with a different
device for the log, which should (in theory) make the space on the
main device available so that you can do the needed AFS maintenance
operations.

Or, you could try to grow the filesystem if the underlying device
allows it.
