I believe that this is a configuration error caused by not setting up your cacheinfo file properly. Look in /usr/vice/etc/cacheinfo. You should have a line
that reads something like:

/afs:/usr/vice/cache:956072

I am not positive that this is your problem, but I know it was a step I had to take to get things running. Really the ebuild should have a note indicating that you have to set this or a post install configure to do this for you.

Note also that afs will complain if you set this number to no more than 90% of your /usr/vice/cache disk. Also note that you need to setup your CellServeDB and ThisCell files in order to get things working right.

I hope this helps.

Oops. The last paragraph should indicate that afs will complain if you set it to _more_ than 90% not "no more than 90%". Sorry about that.

configuration issue I believe... If problem persists reopen this bug.
