Are the home directories nfs-mounted on the netatalk server? If so,
are you mapping root to a non-root uid:
-maproot=xxxx
in /etc/exports on the nfs server?
If both of these are true then the problem is that netatalk attempts to
access the .passwd files as root, which is prohibited by the nfs server.
One solution would be to enable root nfs access. A better one would be
for netatalk to access the .passwd file as the user in question.
