Typically EXDEV (a cross-device link) error is because you've got more than
one copy of the volume, on different partitions on the same server.
vos examine root.cell; if you see afs-vmc.psc.edu already has a site on a
different partition other than vicepga, well, that'd be the issue.
How many sites do you have?
