I found quite a number of people are having this problem. Here are a
few links to the linux-atalk list, where the same problem is described.
See

and replies to these. Noone seems to have a solution. (The only
suggested solution in these threads was to upgrade to MacOS 7.5.5, which
is waht I'm running).

The symptoms again, compiled from my own experiences and the above
threads:

When copying a file from the Mac to the atalk server by drag-and-drop,
you get an Error -23. You get no such error when:

- You save a file to the shared volume from an application.
- You copy the file, and a file with the same name already exists on the
shared volume.
- You copy a folder (containing the file) to the shared volume.

Seems to happen with all kinds of Linux distributions, netatalk
versions, MacOS versions (maybe only before MacOS 8), OpenTransport or
MacTCP.
