This sometimes happens on a machine not for duplicating but for creating a folder in a users homedirectory (indeed, while duplicating, this forces the creation of a folder).

Do they have g+w rights?

This is a known issue with the Mac's alias mechanism. Will be fixed in a future (non-development) release.

Yes, and in the sample config you attached it's done right.
If in doubt, it will be better if you tell the exact version of netatalk you are using.

It's only used when afpd doesn't find a corresponding resource file in .AppleDouble (in the same folder).
You may download a .jpg via commandline-ftp and open this from a netatalk volume through double-click (if you have the programm JPEGView laying around on your harddisk). afpd makes this .jpg appear as of JPEGView without a resourcefork.

None is known to me. It's not too much one must know about. I think it's so little that a book could not get filled.
