When attach runs as "zinit", it acquires subs for all attached
filesystems.  If you don't want zinit, create a line in
/etc/athena/zephyr.vars like

    initprogs = /bin/true

and this will get run instead of zinit.

As for your other zephyr problems, it sounds like you're experiencing
some standard zephyr-database-skew problems.  The authentication error
may be time skew.  Try restarting zhm, too.
