There have been several fixes added to netatalk 1.5 for recognizing
correct volume sizes. I'm not sure why the file sizes would be double,
though. Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/netatalk for the latest 1.5
prerelease, or better yet, grab the most recent copy of the source using
the CVS client. I saw one or two volume size fixes get added to the tree
*since* the latest tarball.
