After putting a few more hours into this, my brain is getting fuzzy... I can 
create more than one volume per storage area (/vicepa, ...).

Ah the "special case" is what got me. When I started from scratch, I was right 
back /coda with the symlink (wow the frustration!). Once I createvol_rep'd 
the "/" volume, Voila! I ls -lR /coda and see normal dirs, mkdir, etc. Now 
I've tried to purge so getvolumelist doesn't match VRList so I'm going to 
reinstall yet again. (I'll look into better vol management later... will be 
in production someday :-)
