Sounds to me that Sean needs Craig to show him the ropes. Its obvious Craig thinks he knows what he is doing. Its also obvious that Sean thinks he has no idea what he is doing. To quote my 2 year old son's book[1], lets not make big problems out of little problems. Craig, why don't you offer to help Sean, and Sean, why don't you offer to buy Craig a beer for his troubles.

Brownie points to both if you document what was necessary so others can learn from this experience.

Do you have samba sharing any of the same data along with netatalk?

I can see where that'd be a bit perplexing.
