Hi,
My Slug running Debian Lenny is successfully setup as a Time Machine disk.
The biggest issue I had to overcome was with Netatalk, which I actually needed to compile from source in order to get it to work with OS 10.6 (authentication didn't work in the standard version). But since you're able to mount the disk that's all fine on your side.
What user are you using for your Time Machine backup? That's the user you enter when selecting the disk in the Time Machine pref panel in OS X.
It looks like your afpd config is pointing to the wrong directory. Could you check that? And have a look at the man pages for afpd/netatalk with respect to users and privileges too.
