Yes, welcome to coda-nightmareland.  I am having the same problem for
months and it is as yet unresolved.  After this happens, when you start
(or restart) venus do you get "CHILD: mount system call failed. Killing
parent."?  You can search the archives for my name to see some of the
issues I have had (there was one issue that was unrelated, though: cfs
mkmount not working).  IANAG but the symptom above is apparently caused
when the volume cannot be located either because all servers are down or
you are on a disconnected client that doesn't have any information
cached about the volume.

Post /vice/db/VRList and the output of volutil getvolumelist on both
servers here and someone more knowledgeable than me might be able to
help.
