Because during the startup venus tried to do a CML optimization on an
object that logically can't have a CML because it is in a non-replicated
volume. This seems to be an artifact of the local-global repair code
that is 'temporarily' moving object to a fake non-replicated volume to
avoid conflicts with the global replica. However it doesn't always clean
up nicely after itself when no repair is done, or when repair fails.

I do not know of a way to nicely recover from this. It pretty much
requires a client reinitialization, but you should still be able to
recover any write-disconnected modifications ('lost' files) from
/usr/coda/spool/<userid>/<volume>.tar (or /var/lib/coda/spool on Debian)
