Guys, maybe Iīm unclear.
The scripts do not simply remove *all* .AppleDouble files...
(I donīt need 20 lines of Perl to do that)
They remove .AppleDouble (res forks) files with no corresponding
data fork!
These files only occur if you move or delete [data fork] files
with other programs than netatalk; f.ex: samba, bash etc...
Happens all the time in a unix/samba/netatalk environment...
