The server list produced by "fs getserverprefs" does not necessarily
indicate that the listed "file servers" are registered in your vldb.
The "fs getserverprefs" output lists known file servers without any
cell information (so you don't know what cell they belong to) nor
does it indicate how they were added to the list:

(1) vldb lookup

(2) "fs setserverprefs" command

nor does it indicate the reason they were added.  The default ranks
associated with a file server are allocation as follows:

   5000    /* on same machine */
   20000   /* on same subnet  */
   30000   /* on same network */
   40000   /* on different networks */

You might want to execute "fs listcells" to see if you contacted
another cell at any point.
