[netatalk-admins] Type/Creator codes with spaces

On the Solaris drive that I mount remotely via netatalk, I'd like to have
'.zip' files automatically default to the type 'ZIP ' and creator 'ZIP '.
Note the spaces in the type/creator codes. It seems that the AppleVolumes
file is "space-insensitive", considering any whitespace to be a delimiter.
Is there a way to make it interpret the whitespace as part of the type or
creator code? Using single-quotes, double-quotes, or backslash escapes
doesn't seem to work.
