Hi Berthold,

what is the selinux status on this machine: 'sestatus'
If selinux is enabled and mode is enforcing there is some additional work needed.

After trying to start openafs-client you could run 'ausearch -m AVC -ts recent' to see the recent deny messages.
Also 'sealert -l "*"' can show you more.

So if your problem is related to selinux you could change the mode to permissive, reboot the system and try again. I'm currently working on a rpm package that will installs and sets up the SELinux policy security module for openafs.
If you are interested to test it, please let me know.

Regards,

To clarify things:

openafs-client is still disabled. I tried to start it manually. So /usr/vice/cache is mounted at this time.
