I'll second that: I just tried am-utils on 2.2.6, and it fixes at least one problem that I'd been having with mounting filesystems from Linux boxes. I could mount the filesystem manually with no problems, but when amd mounted it I always got 'permission denied' when I tried to read any files off it. No idea at all why this happened, but it seems to be fixed in am-utils.
