AppleFileServer strange behaviour

I've got a strange issue with AFP on a new server installation.

Hardware: Mac mini server (Mid 2010) — this had SLS installed originally

Software: erase and install of OS X 10.8.2 + Server 2.1.1 (+ WGM 10.8 and CarbonCopyCloner — nothing else)


— Runs DNS (checked with changeip, lookup on the server + a client)

— Users and groups were migrated from a different 10.7 installation (using WGM export/import), they have their network home on the server.

— SACLs are set to enable access for AFP to all users

— A bunch of AFP/WebDAV shares were added using File Sharing pane of the Server.app (no SMB sharing, some with guest access, one as a network home)

— Open Directory was started using the Server.app

— Client Macs were bound to the OD


Users are able to log in using SSH, AFP and standard GUI login on client Macs. Everything seems fine so far.


PROBLEM: system.log displays hundreds of messages from AppleFileServer like this:

These messages do appear when someone is logging in, but may appear also at other times. Does anyone have any clue to what's going on?
