At the end of the day, there is a ticket in a Keyfile that does not agree
with the service ticket stored in your KDC.  This is the ONLY possible
cause of this error (at least, the only one I've ever seen).

Possible causes of this:

- You're not updating the KeyFile on ALL of your AFS servers (yes, you
  have to do them ALL, and the best way to do that is with upclient,
  because it needs to be the same one everywhere).

- You entered in the wrong kvno for asetkey.

- You have an old cached service ticket on your client.

There may be more problems, but these are the only ones that I've seen.
I know that some people were unable to make it work, but I am convinced
that they still had one of these problems and they just didn't realize it.
