Manually running the updatefetch for db/prot_users.cdb fails as in vice-setup. 
Manual fetches for db/volutil.tk and db/files succeed, and vice-setup 
successfully fetches the 4 other files. Of these, 3 have the same permissions 
as prot_users.cdb, though I note they do not retain the same permissions when 
they reach the non-scm machine. This leaves auth2.pw, auth2.tk and volutil.tk 
world-readable on the non-scm which doesn't seem good.

The only difference I've found so far is that prot_users.cdb is the only file 
that's in use, mmap'ed by auth2 and codasrv (see below). Assuming this is 
normal, is there some guidance I've missed, like 'Don't put /vice on 
reiserfs'? I presume coda uses a process similar to updatefetch for 
synchronisation, so even if I manually went through the setup process 
manually to get teh non-scm machine running I would likely have 
shnchronisation problems when prot_users.cdb gets updated.
