I found the problem.  updatesrv when called from codastart has the -p 
/vice/db option which sets the working directory as /vice/db.  When the 
vice-setup script is run on the non-scm machine and calls updatefetch, 
it looks for $vicedir/db/servers which is actually /vice/db/db/servers 
(it should be just /vice/db/servers).  So either vice-setup needs to use 
/vice or codastart needs to set the working directory to /vice; one or 
the other.
