[volume_default_settings]
  appledouble = ea
  ea = samba

and there is a similar problem with netatalk - "appledouble = ea" is 
only for new files and a recently added option - no idea how to switch 
from netatalk to samba in a sane way when you have thousands of adobe 
type 1 fonts on your shares :-(
