Could it be based on the fact that OS X only supports the latest flavour of
AppleTalk & netatalk might be (?) based on the older (unsupported) protocol?
(I'm guessing here on many counts (most importantly that netatalk is
AppleTalk)) I used to receive the same error with OS X when I try to login
to an old version of AppleShare (Novell 3.1). Now (X 10.1.3) the error
message is less cryptic and actually states that the server is running an
incompatible version (damn, if only I could remember what exactly it is OS X
no longer supports (pre OT (Classic?) AppleTalk?)).
