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'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?

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

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.
