HFS+ is _not_ supported in the kernel. There is a development effort to
make a VFS module to support it (http://linux-hfsplus.sf.net/, I think).
Mounting an HFS+ filesystem made by MacOS will always show what you
described, because MacOS makes a thin HFS wrapper around the HFS+
filesystem, for the sake of older MacOS versions. You can use the
'hfsplus' package to read and write HFS+ filesystems completely in
userspace (not transparent for applications though).
