[netatalk-admins] problem importing MPEG movie via Netatalk

I'm running Netatalk 1.4b2+asun2.0a10 on Linux 2.0.29 on a Pentium.
I've created some MPEG movie using ImageMagick's convert. The file is
called test.mpeg and is residing on a volume exported by Netatalk.
My settings for MPEG are:
.mpeg MPEG mMPG

now when when I directly open that file via Netatalk from a PowerMac
running 7.5.5 using MoviePlayer 2.5.1 I get the message that it cannot
be opened because it's no movie file. However, when I first drag it to the
Mac's hard disk and open it from there, everything works fine, and I can
play the movie. It does not make a difference whether I choose Open or
Import in MoviePlayer.
Anybody got an idea why I cannot open it directly? The Mac does have rw
access to the Netatalk volume.
Thanks.
