There is no way to do bulk adds to any of the AFS databases.
This is why the workaround (if you need these large groups) is to
build databases offline and snap them into place on your database
servers - you cannot use the normal UBIK update procedure. If bulk
adds had been envisioned, the updates would probably be better.

There is no theoretical limit (?), but there is the practical
cap imposed by UBIK's update semantics coupled with the quorum
election process. Since you would lose quorum for each add/delete
operation, and since a re-election/sync is probably another two minute
operation, it is clear that once you cross that practical cap you
completely lose the ability to do practical operations on the object.
