Apologies.  I should have used the source. For the record, from 
stored/parse_bsr.c:

"    * Every bsr should have a volfile entry and a volblock entry
     * or a VolAddr
     *   if we are going to use positioning
"

So I need to figure out what the VolBlock should be, or switch to using VolAddr.

I'll just head back to my little cave now :)
