I take that back with apologies to Micheal: I used the option-empty-trash trick
to try to force the Finder to remove all files. All it did was to suppress the
error message about its not being able to remove some files. It looked as
though it had worked; only when I tried to unmount the volume did I realize
that it hadn't. The AFP command set does have a "delete directory" command, but
says that it must be empty for it to work. One could argue that "empty" means
not counting files that are not visible to the Finder and that netatalk should
do an "rm -rf" for you.
