From the netatalk afpd man page:

       Unix files beginning with '.' are not accessible from the
       mac.

Hence you cannot delete directories containing dot files, since the Mac
Finder does not know there are still files to delete in the directory
you want to kill.

There is no workaround.

You should post to the netatalk list, too.

I have no idea ;)

Definitely.
