[OpenAFS] Vos functions and clones and shadows

In a recent discussion of clone and shadow volumes, Derrick Brashear mentioned that the FAQ now contains some information about these. My impression is that clone and shadow volumes give us an additional possibility to do certain types of backup or quasi-backup operations. But they are new enough

I have opened a ticket in RT for this problem. Fixing it is going to require changes to both the ptserver and aklog. For the time being adding domain realm mappings to the krb5.ini is going to be the only method of addressing the issue. http://rt.central.org/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=64147
