I haven't seen this problem myself, but has anyone checked on the execute
permission of the directory? I noticed when I was working on drop boxes
before that MacOS can't write to a directory if you don't have +x set. I
even wrote a little fix for that (lifted from the CAP code) which I will
eventually post to SourceForge for netatalk 1.5.
