Nothing very special indeed.

As soon as you open a file a corresponding entry wil be created in .AppleDouble. This stores simply the raw information the extension mappings provide to the Finder.

If you do not plan to store anything more special but these types of files, you may manually set extension -> type/creator in AppleVolumes.* and for the volume itself the option noadouble to prevent netatalk in creating unneccessary files. .AppleDouble files are only created if a true Mac Resource information must be stored.
This may prevent your errors from appearing and won't crowd your disks unneccessary. :-)
