Your problem may be wine in 64 bit version of ubuntu. HFS is compiled to run on 32 bit environment. As there are two ubuntu builds (i386 and AMD64), in order to support 32bit applications better, you should use the i386 distribution (works on all AMD and Intel 64 bit processors), as stated on the ubuntu homepage.
You could also try to create a wine-32bit environment on your 64 bit distribution. Look at the official wine wiki at http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit about details how to do it.
Well I don't want to downgrade to 32-bit Linux just for HFS.
Oddly, I did not fine wine in the packages. The wine that I am using got installed along with Picasa, and it works fine for Picasa. I suppose I could read up on wine and see if it has some configuration for the network environment. But what I did last night was install thttpd (a simple HTTP server) and it seems to do a good enough job of serving my files.
I still think HFS is a fine app for Windows, but Linux already has a number of solutions that work.
Thanks for your advice.
