Juan Carlos, you are right! 
I was not aware that in this situation the directories (and not the files) are 
inconsistent, although the log said it (sometimes it's an advantage to be 
able to read :-))
After repairing the directories everthing works correctly.

Maybe you have also such a simple solution for my vice versa problem.
Same preconditions:
But this time:

01   client1: mkdir /coda/test_domain/test_vol/test_dir

02   client2: echo line1 > /coda/test_domain/test_vol/test_dir/test_file
03   client2: cfs disconnect
04   client2: echo line2 >> /coda/test_domain/test_vol/test_dir/test_file

05   client1: rm /coda/test_domain/test_vol/test_dir/test_file

06   client2: cfs reconnect

It is almost the same, but this time the connected client1 removes the file 
and the disconnected client2 appends a line.

After a while client2 tries to reintegrate. Venus prints out

09:32:39 Checkpointing test_vol
09:32:39 to /var/lib/coda/spool/1001/test_domain_test_vol.tar
09:32:39 and /var/lib/coda/spool/1001/test_domain_test_vol.cml
09:32:39 Local inconsistent object 
at /coda/test_domain/test_vol/test_dir/test_file, please check!

09:32:39 Reintegrate: test_vol, 1/1 records, result = No such file or 
directory
09:37:28 volume test_vol has unrepaired local subtree(s), skip checkpointing 
CML!

09:37:38 Local inconsistent object 
at /coda/test_domain/test_vol/test_dir/test_file, please check!


07   client2: ls -l /coda/test_domain/test_vol/test_dir
        ... test_file -> @7f000005.ffffffff.00080006_at_test_domain

Until here erverthing seems to be allright.

08   client2: cfs beginrepair /coda/test_domain/test_vol/test_dir/test_file
09   ls -l /coda/test_domain/test_vol/test_dir/test_file
        ... global -> @7f000005.00000084.00000083_at_test_domain
        ... local

There is another dangling symlink for global!

10   client2: cfs endrepair /coda/test_domain/test_vol/test_dir/test_file
11   client2: repair
12   repair > beginrepair /coda/test_domain/test_vol/test_dir/test_file
       Too few directory entries
       Could not allocate replica list
       beginrepair failed.

how can I repair my test_file?
