I haven't seen this with netatalk, but I've seen this on PC-formatted
disks. The solution was to delete the resource.frk directory and let it
treat all files as unknown, then rewrite the data. If you have
.AppleDouble enabled, I hate to say it but the best solution might be to
delete all files in the .AppleDouble subdirectory of the directory you're
having trouble with.
For more information about this problem, search the web for "dancing
icons" (including the archives for this list).
