Subject: [netatalk-admins] Yet Another Netatalk problem (YANP)

I think this one might have been mentioned on this list before, but I
can't seem to find it in the archives...
I'm having another "file not found" problem when copying files from a
netatalk volume. This time, it is with files that are in a read-only
directory, and therefore there is not a .AppleDouble directory within it.
Here's a test that reproduces the problem:
1) From the netatalk server, create a directory named "foo" (mkdir foo).
Do this in a directory this is visible via netatalk.
2) Create a file in the foo directory (optional) (touch foo/bar).
3) Change foo so it is read-only (chmod a-w foo)
4) On the Mac client, cause the parent folder of foo to be re-read
(remount the volume, or close and reopen the parent folder, whatever)
5) Try to copy the now visible foo folder to a local Mac disk. Bzzzzzt.
Won't work.
I'm running Mac OS 8 with netatalk 1.4b2+asun2.0a14. I didn't have this
problem with netatalk 1.4b2 (no patches) and Mac OS 7.6.1.
Anyone familiar with this one?
