Subject: Strange Quark problem

I'm finding a strange problem with Quark writing postscript files.
We have Quark 3.32 creating documents from a template, and then outputing
postscript to the netatalk fileserver.
When the owner of the scripts first logs in I get an error like this in the
logs:
Feb 21 12:55:50 iworks PAM_unix[30329]: (netatalk) session opened for user
admin by (uid=0)
Feb 21 12:55:50 iworks afpd[30329]: login admin (uid 1000, gid 1000)
Feb 21 12:55:52 iworks afpd[30329]: setdirowner: chown -1/0
.AppleDouble/.Parent: Operation not permitted
Then the first postscript file the script creates (after a fresh login) fails
with a type -48 or occasionally a type -35 error on the Mac.
Thereafter every postscript file works.
We can't seem to duplicate this problem manually from Quark.
In regards to the above error the permissions are:
drwxrwsr-x 41 admin admin 1024 Feb 15 08:55 .AppleDesktop
and
-rw-rw-r-- 1 admin admin 589 Feb 21 14:20 .Parent
these seem right to me.
What I can't figure out is why would it only fail on the first attempt after
the user logs in?
I have this problem with a variety of netatalks and am currently running
netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.4-38b. I have PAM, tcpwrapper and DHX compiled in. The
server is a Debian Potato kernel 2.2.13.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. We are looking at an Applescript work
around that will trip the landmine, but I would rather fix the problem.
