Ok, the updateclnt/updatesrv daemon didn't propagate the new VLDB and
VRDB files to all servers. The volume is not mounted.

This simply dereferences the symlink and touches /coda/#rs.users.

This writes "hello world" into /coda/#rs.users.

12 bytes == "hello world\0"

Just make sure that updateclnt/updatesrv are still running on all
servers. Also check the timestamps and size of /vice/db/VLDB and
/vice/db/VRDB.
