Your fileserver is running old AFS server software that doesn't
understand rxkad 2b tokens, which are derived from Kerberos 5 tickets
and not Kerberos 4 tickets; /bin/athena/aklog in Athena 9.2 is krb5
based by default, but you can reproduce this failure using aklog5 from
the sipb locker on 9.1 and earlier.

Options for fixing it:

1.) Upgrade your cell to OpenAFS 1.2.8 or later.  This is what's running
    in production in the athena.mit.edu cell and all of our other
    cells.  It's much more stable than anything we ever got from
    Transarc.

2.) Ask the ATHENA.MIT.EDU KDC maintainers to configure the krb524d to
    not hand out krb5 tickets in response to requests for
    afs/soap.mit.edu@ATHENA.MIT.EDU.  Asking them to configure it
    identically to how the net.mit.edu cell is configured should be
    sufficient.

If you take 2 you probably want to strongly consist upgrading your
server binaries to something more recent anyway.  I'm happy to help you
with that if you'd like.

Garry
