Okay, so what about 'vos examine' ? Or does that still just give an
error that it can't attach the volume?

How busy are the client and fileserver here? Can you get debug
information from them? There's a few things that could be wrong, so it
can be easier to just look more closely at the error than just checking
random stuff. If the client is not busy doing other things in AFS, run
this as root:

fstrace clear cm
fstrace setlog cmfx -buffers 200
fstrace sets cm -active
ls /afs/example.com/volume # should give 'No such device'
fstrace dump cm > /tmp/fstrace.log
fstrace sets cm -inactive

And put the fstrace.log file somewhere where I can look at it. That will
contain some information about your cell, like volume names, and
possibly filenames, IP addresses, etc. So if you're not comfortable with
that, then we can try other stuff.
