Now that I think about it, when I was tracing down the problem
I do remember I definitely ran rxdebug to get the client version
from one of the afs servers that was having the problem.
I distinctly remember it being version 1.3.77 as I reported
originally since "rxdebug 152.2.128.182 7001 -ver" is how
I got the version. I never logged into the machine to get
the windows client version, I just powered the darn thing
down and poof our afs servers started working normally again.
As far as I am concerned this is solved unless you want
some more info. My goal is to upgrade the servers to the release
version of 1.4.1 when it is ready. I have to wait anyway until mid May
when the semester is over here . Last time this happened was a year
ago or so and I thought this was fixed in 1.4.0 which I am running.
Thanks for you input/help.

The AFS client is turned off now until someone gets around to
upgrading. I wear many hats, we have 500+ windows machines
and a staff to support them. I manage the linux/unix
servers and desktops I do not like to mess with there stuff other
then cases like this. Thanks for your help. I am sure the
1.4 windows client will work and I have pushed them many times
to upgrade all systems to the latest windows client.

Are you sure? I ask because I can ping 152.2.128.182 but I can't
"rxdebug 152.2.128.182 7001 -ver". Please confirm that you are
able to run rxdebug against the client.

I verified the "bad" client system configuration. It has
UDP/TCP port 7001 opened in Windows Firewall and is not
running any other firewall software.
Of course we will upgrade the client, just FYI.

Your primary problem is the firewalled client. This is not an afs
bug, it's
a problem with your network. You must fix this. If you don't you
will have
file system delays and cache inconsistency. There is also a secondary
problem, that this one misbehaving client can bring down your entire
cell.
This is a bug in afs. You should fix this by upgrading your server to
1.4.1.
