You'll need to adjust the volume name in AppleVolumes as appropriate.
Here's a script that does that (I've got /mnt/hfscd in my fstab as above):
[not the neatest of scripts but it seems to work]
#!/bin/sh
#offset 85 is start of volume name
if mount /mnt/hfscd; then
VOL=`cat /mnt/hfscd/.AppleDouble/.Parent | cut -b 87-106 | tr -d '\0'`
cat > $HOME/.AppleVolumes <<EOT
/mnt/hfscd "$VOL"
EOT
fi
Beware that with some versions of netatalk, afpd will die when accessing
files on such a filesystem. I'm using pre5 (with permissions patch) and
it's fine.
