Subject: nested folders

hi all. i've just joined the list, so bear with me if this has been
covered before.
i'm using netatalk-1.5pre2-6 (i think. is there an atalk -version
command so i can be certain?) on a redhat 7.1 intel box and i'm
seeing some oddities when putting files on the server from a Mac
running 9.1
basically, i get an error -50, or, more commonly, "the file is
locked". mostly this happens with strange filetypes like font
suitcases or photoshop files with custom icons, though not by any
means with *all* of them.
the really odd thing is that, if i move the problem files as part of
a larger transfer - usually when copying a folder with many files in
it to the server - i consistently get the error. but, when i transfer
the file by itself, or even the contents of the whole directory -
but not the enclosing folder - i do not get the error.
does this make sense at all? to sum up: i grab a folder, copy it to
the server. the folder is created on the server, but the files give
me an error (or one of the files does, and cancels the whole copy).
if i open the folder on the mac and copy the contents to the new
folder on the server, i get no error.
my next step will be trying to recreate the problem with different
filetypes and seeing if there's a common thread, and i suppose i
should update to the latest prerelease - or go back to 1.4. i thought
i'd see if anybody here had any suggestions or similar experiences.
