Yeah, with "-orphans attach" instead of "-orphans remove" you would
have kept your data, but the directory structure was lost forever
(i.e. the orphaned files and directories would have been attached to
the mountpoint of your volume and named AFSORPHAN-1232423 or some such
(i can't remember it exactly, had to do this once before))

I have a guess what might have caused the error.

May i ask what version of OpenAFS you are using on which Operating
System?

Bad, bad, bad... I wonder why Tim C. didn't ask which OpenAFS Version
and OS you were using...

Well, a little consolation: Moving the attached orphans around is no
fun at all and takes a lot of time... So restoring the tapes from
yesterday is probably the better solution anyways.
