More accurately, it's a _folder_ (directory) that fails to show up.

Good thought, but there is no icon information in the netatalk metadata (it
has a dedicated file for desktop info). I believe this is something much
more basic. The MacUser directory is fine - both data and
resource forks are as
expected. However, no matter what I've tried 'Diagnostic1' simply does
not
show up in the finder. I'm sure it's something basic, but I'm not much

an ancient Mac guru.
Wild guess, but might be a custom folder icon that's having it's resource
fork blown away? Did you try rebuilding the desktop on the 68k machine?
I'm
not sure if it's possible, but you might try doing the same on the
netatalk
share. IIRC, there is a HIDDEN attribute for files in the old
MacOS, which can be
accessed through something like ResEdit or the Norton Utilities.
I suspected that, but am not really a Mac guru. Any pointers to such a
utility would be appreciated! For laughs, I created a new directory from
the mac, then used netatalk utils to copy the "invisible" files into that
location (they can't hide from Linux). The new directory and its contents
are quite visible to the mac.
I'd have to fire up an MacOS 9 machine to check
and I'm not sure the machine
I could easily fire up has the utility to double-check the matter installed.
Aren't there some MacExperts here?
What he said :-)
