Bill,
We have been getting the same errors. I thought this was because of our
upgrade to a newer version of netatalk, but now, I'm not so sure.
I don't think that you can get away with removing the .AppleDouble files
for every application. Did you encounter any problems with this approch?
If so, what applications are your files created with?
