Usually, cnid_maint is located in /usr/bin, depending onto your
compile time options it may be hiding in /usr/local/bin. Try locate ...
Remember to edit the script before first use ;-)

UPS? where are you located?
Nevertheless, the cnid db seems to be kind of fragile -- therefore
you should run cnid_maint at a nightly schedule. More, some setups, for
example, volumes containing *nix softlinks, cannot be shared reliably
if Netatalk is compiled to use cnid.
