Thanks David and Sebastian,

I removed the receipt /Library/Receipts/OpenAFS.pkg
and was able to install the earlier version.  I added
the cell (ThisCell) and servers (CellServDB) and
retarted the computer.  The AFS icon is on the desktop
and I can access the top level of the file space.  Now
I just have to figure out why nothing is appearing
below that level. Hmmmm?
