Hi,
find is more powerful than that, you can combine the two instructions in only
one like this

find /path/to/apple/share -type d -name .AppleDouble -exec /bin/rm -R {} \;

Doesn't work for me. What version of the Netatalk docs did you find this in ?
I tried doing this but it just changed the name of the volume to noadouble.
It would be nice if it worked.

>So, could you pass me a script that removes .AppleDoubles ;)

Well it is not really a script, it just uses the wonderful 'find' command:

find /path/to/apple/share -type d -name .AppleDouble | xargs /bin/rm -R

Simple but it work very well. Just make sure you don't delete any resource
forks you should be keeping....
