Um.  klog means you are using kaserver, which is krb4 only (and has
significant security issues; make it go away).  kinit and k5start are not
going to work, unless you have things configured such that keys can come
from a kaserver or a separate krb5 KDC (look for a krb.conf in the AFS
server config and multiple kvno-s listed by asetkey) in which case you need
to find out what it takes to get the principal added to the latter.
