":hh" is _not_ a hex value ("ff" aka 255 would be the highest ;-)
Interesting though. Netatalk normally displays these characters in its
MacRoman representation. In my eyes it is a violation of afp specs,
displaying characters that can confuse an afp client. Would be better if
Netatalk replaces these characters with another char (eg. ":c4") to map
these illegal chars to 'friendlier' ones.
