You know that you can speed this up by factor 5-10 when using Helios' Create
PDF server? The MacOS filehandling is pretty slow, so it's not a good idea
to use hotfolders when distilling on a Mac...

Some people did that already...

No. It's a two-step process

Each and every time, you connect to your server and the client fetchs the
volume list (see exception below) the contents of your AppleVolumes.* files
will be parsed and presented to the client. So just change the contents of
these files and the changes will have effect immediately.

But Macs don't fetch the volume list if they have already mounted a volume
from this server (the Mac compares the server signature of the server with
the list of mounted volumes). So for changes to take effect, they have to
umount all currently mounted volumes and then their Mac will fetch the
refreshed list from the server.

You did that already... Mails to netatalk-admins@umich.edu will be forwarded
to the new list. Just ensure that you subscribe yourself to the list, so get
all the answers!

Maybe...
