There's a pretty good chance that I also don't what I'm trying to
accomplish...  :-)

I was thinking of this as a vldb error, as it didn't occur to me
that I could directly remove the unwanted campus.readonly volume.
Your suggestion has worked fine:

   # vos remove afsfs13 vicepa campus.readonly
   WARNING: Volume 536870968 does not exist in VLDB on server and partition
   Volume 536870968 on partition /vicepa server afsfs13.server.rpi.edu 
deleted

and the listvol entries for this look fine now.  Thanks!
