What version AppleShare client are you using? Apparently there are some
subtle problems with 3.7.1. If you are using that, try upgrading to 3.7.2.
Probably that won't fix your problem, but it's worth doing anyway! Also,
I'd try posting your problem to the Linux-Atalk list because it _might_ be
Linux specific...
