yes, that's the solution, thanks a lot. but now, stepping further, a new
problem approached:

# createvol_rep coda:root E0000100 /var/vicepa
Servers are (wotan )
HexGroupId is 7F000005
creating volume coda:root.0 on wotan
V_BindToServer: binding to host wotan.wh11.tu-dresden.de
Volume 1000005 (coda:root.0) created 
Fetching /var/vice/vol/Volumelist from servers:

Do you wish this volume to be Backed Up (y/n)? [n] n

what does it mean? how can i solve this? all necessary things are running,
especially the updateserver.

many thanks and a nice weekend - juergen
