I shutdown the server immediately after the last volume was moved off, so 14 
hours after both events occurred is when we noticed the error.

I haven't noticed the problem from any Windows clients, so that is good.

I'll be happy to help catch any lurking bugs! Just let me know what you need, if 
anything.  I'm planning to reboot the new server to change the fileserver and 
volserver arguments in BosConfig (I want to use "-L" and "-p 128", respectively) 
so if you need me to turn on debugging or anything, I can do that.
