AppleShare & Apple IIGS: "Cannot Load Descriptor File" Error



I have a problem trying to install an Apple IIGS workstation on an
AppleShare network.

On my Macintosh SE/30 file server, I've installed System 6.0.5, AppleShare,
and Apple II network software. On my Apple IIGS, I made an "AppleShare on
3.5" startup disk, started it up, logged on, and installed Network Server
Startup on the file server. After starting the Apple IIGS up from the
network and setting the startup application to the Finder, I got the error
message, "CANNOT LOAD DESCRIPTOR FILE $0001." I've re-installed everything
and the problem persists.

This sounds like an AppleShare server access privileges problem. Set the
System Icons privileges to see files and folders for everyone and make sure
that this change is made for all enclosed folders.
