Could you turn up debugging and send me the log.

    % vutil -swap	# rotates venus.log
    % vutil -d 100	# turn up debugging
    % ls /coda		# trigger the permission denied
    % vutil -d 0	# turn debugging back down

What is the ACL on the /coda directory. You can only get it from a
`reinitialized' client. Restart one of the clients after creating
/usr/coda/venus.cache/INIT, this will trigger the client to clear out
anything from the recoverable memory.

The ACL should give at least read and lookup rights to System:AnyUser on
the /coda root directory, otherwise the ioctl interface that clog and
cfs are using is inaccessible.
