Try moving the resource fork files to a .AppleDouble directory under the
directory where the file resides. This worked for me where I converted
form Wolongong's Pathway NFS format to netatalk's format.
Pathway NFS used a prefix of ._filename for the resource fork.
If the base (data fork) file name was XYZ then resource fork was ._XYZ
I suspect that simply moving UShare's files to the right place will work.
