*sigh*  I overwrote the old fileutils with the new ones, so I can't reproduce
this.  Basically I set my default path into a directory on a Netware volume,
entered something like 'touch foo,v' and got that same ENODEV.  Sorry.

I'm embarrassed to say that two years of German in a U.S. high school, and one
semester in college, didn't fully prepare me to read actual, contemporary
German.  I found a lot of interesting things, some of which I could read (after
a fashion), but I can't find *that* link.  Perhaps just *one* more clue...?
