It's not the cleanest solution, but you could try copying them to a Mac
hard drive, then copy to the netatalk volume. The trouble is, you lose
the access permissions when you do it that way. When I migrated the data,
we had the CAP data on a different server from the netatalk data. I just
used a Mac to copy everything from one volume to the other,
drag-and-drop. It worked pretty well.
