MacOS 10.5.1 update breaks AppleShare?

Since updating my Mac mini to 10.5.1 some time ago, I’m unable to connect to my LaCie 1TB disk via AFP (AppleShare). I can see that the volume appears in finder, but upon selecting it the authentication process never completes. The cursor keeps spinning and I never see the content of the disk. I also tried the command line version (mount_afp) and I’m seeing the same results, no matter what arguments I use. Mounting the disk via SMB still works, but iTunes won’t write to the share, if it’s mounted via SMB.

Anybody else seeing the same or similar problems? I created a support-ticket with LaCie and as soon as I get an answer, I’ll write a follow-up.

    We were having some trouble with something the other day. I forget what exactly. We did Repair Disk Permissions in File Utility, and the problem went away. Sometimes permissions settings get messed up during updates.

    Thanks Mike for the suggestion – I have the “Repair” running right now and will report back if it made a difference. Geez, there are lots of “SUID program has been modified and will not be repaired warnings” … hmmm?!?!
