Hello Lukasz and Ian

It looks to me the issue is that xrd gets redirected after a stat command 
(which is the expected behavior).

The first xrd connection is to xrootd.unl.edu which I guess is a 
redirector. The first stat that succeeds connects xrd to the server 
cmsstor144.fnal.gov because that is the server that has the file. The 
second stat is now issued against cmsstor144.fnal.gov and not 
xrootd.unl.edu and if the server doesn't have the file it will return an 
error.
Issuing a "connect" command should connect xrd back to the redirector. The 
command prompt always shows the current server xrd is connected to.

The xrd commands isfileonline and existfile will also cause xrd to get 
redirected to the data server that has the file which is maybe something
that should not happen.

Cheers,
   Wilko
