Netatalk has no conception of ACLs. I'm fairly sure it just looks at the
standard permission structure to determine access. Therefore, Netatalk doesn't
know that there is an added user (or group) with access priviledges. Try with
Samba (version 2.20 or ,even better, the latest CVS download) or with a unix
user telneted in. Those should work
