Do you have openafs-client configured to use dynroot?  If not, does
reconfiguring it to use dynroot (with dpkg-reconfigure openafs-client) and
then moving the start script back to its former position fix the problem?
OpenAFS should tolerate starting before the network as long as it's not
configured to contact the VLDB servers immediately on startup.
