I finally answered my own question. I found some notes on the netatalk
SourceForge Support Request list about this problem.
The unexplained solution is to add -loginmesg "Message" to afpd.conf.
This will cause an additional dialog with the message to be shown at
login time, but the volume will mount properly.
I have not found out why this is so, but it does work.
