I'm a new netatalk user so bear with me. ;)

Configuration:
Network
  - 10baseT ethernet with 2 nodes, linux and Macintosh
linux setup
  - RedHat 4.2 distribution
    - glibc2
    - kernel 2.0.33
Macintosh setup
  - MacOS 8.1
  - OpenTransport (I think 1.1? Whatever came with MacOS 8.1)
netatalk 1.42b
  - Compiled with "RedHat 5" patch (to get it to compile under glibc2's
new
    header structure).
  - Minimal configuration files
    - "eth0" for atalkd.conf
    - nothing in/added to papd.conf
    - the default AppleVolumes.system with a line at the top added to
point to
      a shared directory

Problem:

I'm having difficulty copying more than 1 directory to the shared
directory from
the Macintosh. Apparantly anytime I try to copy a batch of files that
contains
at least one directory not at the end (not copied last) then the
Macintosh OS will
complain that it couldn't create the directory on the shared folder.
However, as
soon as I press "OK" the directory it tried to create will pop-up. I
can copy
directories one at a time, as well as copy any amount of non-directory
files.

I should point out that I'm using Finder to copy the files. I haven't
tried other
utilities that have copy features yet.

Anyways, if anybody knows of a solution to this problem I would be very
appreciative.

John
