Did you set up /vice/db/vicetab to have a valid entry for /vicepb?
Also, you may have to restart the servers before the new partition is
picked up from that file.

If you run that volutil command from the prompt does it give an
explanation for the error? In the script we redirected stderr to
/dev/null to avoid too much clutter.

This does look like we don't know about any vicepb 'partitions' on
either tarzan1 or tarzan2, as there would be a P/vicepb line in the
volume list. But maybe the script never got far enough to update this
information.
