I discovered what the problem was.

Since we are using old PCs as print servers, we had Red Hat 5.2
installed on them, with a version of Netatalk that does not include the
@${ATALK_ZONE} directives in the /etc/rc.d/init.d/atalk [start] section.
So it wasn't the fact that there were spaces in the zone names after
all.

All I did was manually insert the zone information onto the end of the
register scripts, and away it went!

thank you,
Greg
