Coda File System

Problems after 5.3.8 upgrade

I've just upgraded to coda 5.3.8 (lwp 1.4, rvm 1.1, rpc2 1.5)
on a group of Linux 2.2.16 systems with libc 2.1.3, gcc 2.95.2.
The problem I'm having is that I no longer seem to be able to
write files into Coda as any user.  I have ctokens
and I have all ACLS for my current directory.  The cache is set
to 300 mb, and the directory has 37 mb of files including
the DATA and LOG files.  I have a file 518 bytes in size named
Makefile, and I'm trying to copy it into coda:

$ ll /tmp/wwwjob/Makefile
-rw-------   1 zlsiial  nogroup       518 Jul 19 07:42 /tmp/wwwjob/Makefile
$ cp -p /tmp/wwwjob/Makefile .
cp: ./Makefile: Invalid argument
$ ll Makefile
-rw-------   1 zlsiial  nogroup         0 Jul 19 22:36 Makefile
$ rm Makefile
$ (cd /tmp/wwwjob;tar cf - Makefile)|tar xif -
tar: Makefile: Cannot write
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Note I can delete and rename files without problems, as well as
create directories.  But whenever I try to write a file, it fails.
The end of venus.log looks like this:

[ W(20) : 0000 : 22:36:26 ] Cachefile::SetLength 0
[ W(20) : 0000 : 22:36:30 ] Cachefile::SetLength 512

[ D(02) : 0006 : 22:36:33 ] NotifyUserOfServerBandwidthEvent

[ D(02) : 0008 : 22:36:45 ] NotifyUserOfServerBandwidthEvent

[ W(20) : 0000 : 22:37:00 ] Cachefile::SetLength 0

[ D(02) : 0011 : 22:37:05 ] NotifyUserOfServerBandwidthEvent

[ D(02) : 0013 : 22:37:25 ] NotifyUserOfServerBandwidthEvent

[ T(01) : 0017 : 22:38:05 ] BeginRvmTruncate (87, 1692, I)
[ T(01) : 0017 : 22:38:05 ] cache::EndRvmTruncate

And vstab looks like this:

/coda:/dev/cfs0:codascm.mcc.ac.uk:/usr/coda/venus.cache:300000:1

I'd be grateful for any ideas about this one!
