kerberos/SP question

I receive the following error every morning on a number of my SP nodes.

¯----------text-------------------
2502-604 Unable to determine the active authentication methods.
k4destroy: 2502-000 No tickets to destroy.

*****************************************************************
    cron: The previous message is the standard output
    and standard error of one of the cron commands.
¯----------text-------------------

I've looked up this error number in my PSSP Messages Reference manual and its explanation is:

"This information could not be read from file /spdata/sys1/spsec/auth_methods. This is probably a system error."

The resolution is "Follow normal problem reporting procedures". Not useful.

The file does truely does not exist. I've ran lsauthent and it shows "k4 and std" so the auth_methods seem defined. Is there something I've missed?

Something else important is that this started happening right after I did some AIX and PSSP upgrades (4.3 to 4.3.3 and PSSP 2.4 to 3.2)

Thanks for any ideas.
