Problems will occur if a pc user moves a file, as you say. Also, you
will get problems with the character set representations with the
vanilla netatalk.

The prevoius can be fixed by forbidding pc users to move files ;-)
Sorry... I have no good idea... The problems will not be too bad with
data files; they will looses their finderinfo, but no data will be lost.
Worse with apps and files with useful resource info; it will be lost,
since they reside in the .AppleDouble dir.
