It's possible to get older binaries to behave on newer Ubuntu
installs, you just have to find the old libc packages -- I had to pull
some from a redhad rpm and use alien to convert it to a .deb package.
(I did this for something unrelated to what you guys are working on,
but same concept...)

Is there a possible permissions issue?  Anything interesting in the
logs (/var/log)?

Second to all of that, has anyone tried the Jaunty packages for
netatalk?  They're in the main repo:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/netatalk

All of the stock packages I've seen have problems of one sort or another. Typically, they are built (or build) without support for URANDOM authentication or netbooting. And, the last time I looked there was a bug in the handling of file dates on P8 files. I've given up trying to get fixes into the official upstream sources. The developers could care less about Apple 2 support and have been utterly unresponsive in the past.
