For some time we have been using the amanda-afs package to backup our AFS
volumes (documented at
http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/How_To:Backup_AFS_Volumes).

Recently we discovered that this code is not compatible with OpenAFS 1.6.1.
 The binaries don't work anymore, the code doesn't compile anymore.

I updated the code to compile and work with the newer version.  The main
issue is that the VInitVolumePackage function became VInitVolumePackage2
with and the function interface now expects a struct of options instead of
being passed options as individual parameters.  There are some other small
changes required as well.

Though it is perhaps being overly careful I don't know if I can distribute
the code, a patch, or the RPM packages I build using it.  Though it is
public the license isn't indicated, and I have no idea who owns it. I think
it might be useful to others so if someone is interested (or if the
original owners of this code are out there) please let me know.

regards,
Ben
