Ok, the failed run of createvol_rep has ofcourse left a new VRList.new
file laying around which then in turn breaks the run with the debugging
flags. I'm adding a rm -f before the call to volutil to fix that issue.

But the problem in the first run is pretty clear,

    # Derive the server list from the <vsgaddr> parameter
    SERVERS=`awk '$1 ~ /^'$VSGADDR'$/ {print $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, $7, $8, $9}' ${vicedir}/db/VSGDB`
    echo Servers are \($SERVERS\)

I.e. we look in the file /vice/db/VSGDB for any line that starts with
E0000104 to get the list of servers we need to use.

However, this line isn't found, so we bail out.

Hmm, I wonder why there are stray lookups for non-existing volumes,
perhaps there is some bad data lingering in the VRList/BigVolumelist,
but that should hopefully go away as soon as you managed to create the
volume.

These are the errors associated with the volutil dumpvrdb failures ;)
