It files "loose" their .finderinfo as soon as they hit the 
AppleShare.    Doesn't matter if I'm copying from the floppy, or saving 
a new file directly to the share.    I suspect its a bug in aufs 
somewhere, but haven't had time to go through it with the debugger.   
(Which is why I posted here, to see if anyone else ran across it.) 

I see a "hack" in the code to handle ProDOS filetypes, I've a feeling 
they might be being written correctly, but not read back correctly.  
(see previous debugger/lack of time comments)
