This seems to be a known issue - I would suggest to open a ticket with Apple and ask for downward compatibility ;o)

According to the dev forums, DHCAST128 is no longer supported. netatalk 2.2-beta3 supposedly will connect fine.

For anyone else with this problem, DHCAST128 can be re-enabled manually in lion as follows:

To turn on "DHCAST128" support please do the following:

1) Launch /Applications/Utilities/Terminal and do:
sudo chmod o+w /Library/Preferences
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_host_prefs_version -int 1
Now restart your computer.
2) From Finder, select an AFP server, or use "Connect To...". This will cause the AFP Client to create the full preferences file
3) Launch Terminal again and do:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_disabled_uams -array "Cleartxt Passwrd" "MS2.0" "2-Way Randnum exchange"
sudo chmod o-w /Library/Preferences
Now restart your computer.

Note: To add a "DHCAST128" to the disable list, use
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleShareClient afp_disabled_uams -array-add "DHCAST128"

I will try this out myself later.

The workaround corrected the issue with connecting to an AFP server.. but Time Machine will not show my mounted Time Machine folder to do the backups. Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks
