Subject: Alias of netatalk volume not working

Hello again,
I moved my networked Macs to a netatalk server, and I'm very
pleased with the speed of this setup. But...
My users typically create an alias of the network volume and
leave the alias in their AppleMenu folder. Selecting this
alias from the menu mounts the network volume.
With netatalk, the alias mount method has a weird problem.
Very often, if they mount using the alias, the netatalk
volume displays the Network Trash Folder in place of one
of the other folders! The missing folder is inaccessable.
Sometimes an alias will mount correctly, but mostly it
gives this strange behaviour. If they mount through the
Chooser, the folders always show up correctly, and the
Network Trash Folder is properly hidden. But mounting
through Chooser takes so many more mouse clicks!
Any suggestions???
-Mike
