I have just noticed the same thing, with some dismay. The AppleVolumes.default
file does not seem to provide any additional volumes to users, and
now even the entries in AppleVolumes.system file seem to be ignored.
I am using the same software! The only change is that I now have
an AppleVolumes.default file in /usr/local/atalk/etc!
