Look at the line directly above. Afpd is binding to 127.0.01, the
loopback address, instead of your real IP address. So when the mac
contacts the server over appletalk, your server says, "Contact me on
127.0.0.1", which fails.
Have a look at your /etc/hosts file. It should look something like:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
24.7.138.204 c9544580-a.potlnd1.or.home.com c9544580-a
I think you'll find that it only has the 127.0.0.1 address in it, not your
real IP address.
