Why? Why didn't you checked whether these files that are created from a
Windows machine *have* the correct FileType/Creator Code afterwards when
viewed from a Mac by using one of the countless tools available for MacOS 9?

Maybe afpd looks in the wrong place for its AppleVolumes.system file? In
case you realize that there is a mismatch between the settings in
AppleVolumes.systems and what the client gets in reality, please visit
