Are you using 1.5pre6? There are other, earlier versions
available, but most of the 1.5pre series were broken in some
way.
Go into the netatalk configuration directory (which should be /etc/atalk
on your machine) and look at the AppleVolumes.default file. This
contains the information for volumes that are shared. It is heavily
commented, and there is also a man page which is installed with the
package, accessable via "man AppleVolumes.default".
Good luck,
Jeff
