So! The Windows 2000 Server works! I set up a test share and did a few read/write operations. It runs way smoother than Netatalk to boot, too.

The only problem is "re-sharing" the VirtualBox shared folder through Services For Macintosh... Windows 2000 sees the folder as a network drive, and you can't just share a network drive. I've tried symlinks/junctions to no avail. I could, of course, plop the actual folder into the VM itself, but then I'd have to boot up the VM every time I wanted to access files, even locally... Plus, I don't like the idea of porting over 8GB of stuff to a virtual drive! There has to be a solution here that works!

If you still have that Ubuntu VM, you can look at my wiki page and see if it helps get you read and write access for guests.
Thanks, but I'm using fully authenticated users with a group assigned just for accessing AFP shares. The issue is in Netatalk itself and pertains specifically to VirtualBox shared folders.
