Have you properly setup netatalk for DDP connections?
I think DDP is still necessary for NBP.
Are the DDP ports in your /etc/services?
What does netatalk write into your /var/log/messages when it starts up?
What does `nbplkup' on your linux-box tell?

What do you call a "share"?
If you want to make a directory accessible for all users you have to put it into your
AppleVolumes.default.
Then you can select it directly from a volumes list after you've logged in.
