Thanks to the help of another debian-powerpc user off-list, I've got
this problem fixed.
The problem was with permissions, as are so many of these types of
problems. I had a directory where all the user directories were stored.
The main directory containing all the user sub-dirs is what I exported,
rather than each user directory - as we share files among users alot.
So, even though all user dirs had adequate permissions, the directory
containing the user directories was 755, preventing netatalk from
creating the.AppleDB directory it needed. After doing a chmod -R to
correct this, everything is working as advertised again.
