Mounting OS9 Shares on OSX Sierra

This has been driving me nuts for the past two days and I've been trying lots of fixes and stuff I've found scattered around the internet but with no luck.

I cannot mount a share on my iBook no matter what and despite thinking afpfs-ng would be a fix it compiles but does not run properly under OSX.

Interesting tidbits:

Despite having only shared the Documents folder on the iBook the only share visible is the whole hard drive.

File sharing under OS9 doesn't accept clients connecting with DHCAST128 auth, yet it supports connecting to shares with it?

afpfs-ng Works fine under Linux, and despite clearing out afp_disabled_uams in com.apple.AppleShareClient I'm just getting this error:

mount_afp "afp://tara:kmy_password@192.168.2.200:1548/Macintosh HD" /Users/tara/blah

mount_afp: AFPMountURL returned error 45, errno is 2
I do have an intermediary share using netatalk that both my Mac and iBook can connect to but it is kind of a pain.
