Those lines shouldn't have been the direct cause of the error...
you (ought) to be able to add them back in.
The linux port of AFS has bugs, which crop up now and then, with
the usual symptom being that when you try to read the contents of
a file, it doesn't look like what it "should" look like.
I suspect (..hope..) that this is what is causing your odd exmh error.
To clean the cache, you need to boot linux into single user-mode,
and then remove all of the files in the AFS cache. (This way, the
next time you try to access them you'll receive a fresh copy from
the network, instead of the cached copy.)
At the LILO prompt, boot into run-level 1, and then run some commands:
lilo: linux 1
bash# rm -rf /usr/vice/cache/*
bash# sync; reboot
Hope this helps,
-Jacob
