[OpenAFS-port-darwin] pioctl failed?

[Aaron Rosenblum]

Thanks to you all, I got it working.  It turned out that the startup 
script was messed up for some reason.  You guys were right, AFS was not 
loading on startup.  But now it works and I can get to AFS!  Ad for why 
I changed my local UID to my viceID, I was told that for me to be able 
to edit the files in my AFS space that are owned by me, I must use my 
viceID as my local UID because the finder doesn't quite understand what 
is going on in AFS land.  My ID on the campus machines is not 501 like 
it is by default on my MacOS X machine.  If there is a better solution 
to this, please let me know!

thanks again
