The vos dump'ed file didn't work. vos restore reported:
Restoring volume test.afsfs1a Id 540159473 on server afsfs5.its.ltu.se
partition /vicepb ..Signature missing from end of file 'dump-afsfs1-a'
Could not transmit data
VOLSER: illegal operation
Error in vos restore command.
VOLSER: illegal operation

As both vos copy, and vos dump failed, I gather this was the bogus one.

I've now used vos zap and resynced the vldb on that file server.

Thanks!
