This is using afpd 3.1.0 on FreeNAS 9.2.1.1

Description: Netatalk volumes don't seem to support Finder tags (introduced in OS X 10.9). It only supports the older label-feature which in 10.9 looks as if only one tag can be added at once.

Steps to reproduce:
- Mount a netatalk share and create a folder
- Using the Finder, add a red tag to the folder
- Check added extended attribute
- Add an orange tag to the same folder

Expected results:
- After the first tag:
p$ xattr -l test
com.apple.FinderInfo:
00000000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0C 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................|

- After adding the second tag:
$ xattr -l test
com.apple.FinderInfo:

Actual results:
- After adding the first tag:
$ xattr -l test
com.apple.FinderInfo:
00000000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0C 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................|

00000020
xattr: test: No such xattr: com.apple.metadata:_kMDItemUserTags
- After adding the second tag:
$ xattr -l test
com.apple.FinderInfo:
00000000 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 0E 00 00 00 00 00 00 |................|

00000020
xattr: test: No such xattr: com.apple.metadata:_kMDItemUserTags

The expected results were achieved while connected to an OS X 10.7.5 server.

    We don't have this issue anymore with 3.1.3/FreeBSD 9.3
