Did you get any error from this command?  I'm afraid that you have to
type `-cell rhic' or just `rhic' with the Arla fs program.

It sure sounds like it's still trying to contact the old server and
thus failing.

I'm afraid there's a small bug in `fs listcells', but after applying
the patch below you should be able to do:

fs listcells -no-resolve | grep rhic

which should tell you arlad's view of which are the servers in that
cell.  When I try I get this:

datan# fs listcells -no-resolve | grep rhic
rhic:  130.199.80.92.
datan# ls /afs/rhic
ls: /afs/rhic: Connection timed out
datan# /usr/arla/bin/fs newcell -cell rhic -servers rafs01.rcf.bnl.gov rafs02.rcf.bnl.gov rafs03.rcf.bnl.gov
datan# fs listcells -no-resolve | grep rhic
rhic:  130.199.6.69 130.199.6.52 130.199.6.51.
datan# ls /afs/rhic

<works fine>
