Potential workaround:

For those simply trying to mount a Mac OS X AFP share from Ubuntu 12.04,
gvfs-mount seems to do the trick.  I'm not sure why googling for "mount
afp from ubuntu" didn't seem to turn it up.

>gvfs-mount afp://username@server/share_name/
Enter password for afp as username on server
Password: 
>ls -la ~/.gvfs
total 4
dr-x------  3 local_username local_group    0 Mar 19 09:11 .
drwxr-xr-x 43 local_username local_group 4096 Mar 19 11:43 ..
drwx------  1 local_username local_group    0 Mar 19 12:35 AFP volume 
share_name for username on server
>

I can't quickly find a way to change this mount point, but you can always link 
that directory elsewhere.
This is what the nautilus GUI file browser uses when you mount AFP drives from 
the "Browse Network" tab.
