Sure. As long as the underlying file system is case-sensitive (as are most
Unix file system), you can have different files with the same name.

The only possible solution that comes to my mind is using a
case-insensitive file system like Windows VFAT. (I don't know about NTFS
which may be an even better choice, because of ACL support.) You can't
really fix this in Netatalk, since you may always move files on the Unix
side.
