Subject: [netatalk-admins] Netatalk and AppleScript - Newbie Questions

I am trying to create a small AppleScript application to run off a
read-only remote volume. This application seems to want to update
itself on exit for some reason (presumably a global variable I can't
see - I am a novice at AppleScript as well). Up until yesterday I
was using CAP which gave error -36 if the application was locked or
the volume was read-only guest access. This seemed rather an over
the top error number to return. As I have never been convinced by
CAP I thought I'd give netatalk a go (I am using 1.4b2 on Solaris
2.5.1) as it seems to have a better approach all round. Indeed I no
longer have any problems with locked applications on writable
volumes. However with the read-only guest access I get an error -50
(parameter error) returned and in the logs I see messages like:
afpd[11377]: afp_setforkparams: ad_rtruncate: Bad file number
Could someone enlighten me as to what exactly the above means in
plainer terms, and perhaps if there is a solution to my problem
staring me in the face.
All help and advice gratefully received.
Graham
