Does resolving the hostname of the Debian machine from one of the MacOSX machine with a tool like "ping" work? Does resolving the local host name on the Linux machine work? (requires an installation of nss-mdns) Do you have some kind of firewall running? Or maybe some bug network driver (many WLAN drivers are borked when it comes to multicasting)? Try setting the +allmuti or +promisc flag. If all this doesn't help please create a network dump with tcpdump or wireshark and capture all udp traffic on port 5353, and send it to me!
