Have you got backup volumes for the volumes in question?
This is the old and evil CopyOnWrite failure bug, i assume. I
experienced this as well. Currently there is no fix (afaik) but a
reiliable workaround seems to be to remove the backup volume for each
affected volume and instead of dumping the backup volumes, dump the
volumes directly.
At least this has helped on my site.
I'm not an (Open)AFS developer but guessing from what i read on the
lists, this bug seems to be hard to track down.
The bug with the non-disappearing .__afs* files seems to be another
one of its kind, although less disastrous.
Kind regards
