It didn't replace CellServeDB, but I've just learned that it uses 
CellServDB to make root.afs ;)  The *real* problem was we have an alias 
for the cell name and it was that missing short name that broke things. 
  Apparently w/o the dynamic root option the symbolic link would be 
present .... if I understand the AFS admin's explanation...
