Rather than worrying about netatalk, just make the directory setgid. Then
new files/directories will inherit the parent's group.
"chmod 2770 /path/to/dir", for example... "man chmod" for another. :) As
far as setting the create-mode for files to allow group write, I dunno.
I guess there'd have to be a way to run in a umask-modified environment.
Or set up a cron script to run every few minutes executing a
"chmod -R g=u /path/to/dir", or something ugly like that... :(
