This ought to be in the FAQ list, if it isn't already.

The folder layout information is not stored in the .ADesktop/.IDesktop
files - these hold icon information and application-location bindings,
but not visual-display info.  Instead, it is stored in the .finderinfo
directory.

Your problem is probably this:  the Finder layout information for the
top-level directory (the "disk window" layout) is being lost, because
CAP cannot find a place to store it.  The information is _not_ stored in
the directory that you are "publishing" on the network - instead, it's
stored in the .finderinfo directory which is located "in parallel" to
this top-level directory.  You probably have not created this
.finderinfo directory or have not set the permissions properly.

By way of example:  if you wish to publish /foo/bar/baz as a Macintosh
network disk, you must create _four_ Unix directories:

	/foo/bar/baz
	/foo/bar/baz/.resource
	/foo/bar/baz/.finderinfo
	/foo/bar/.finderinfo

The last of these is probably the one that you are missing.  You should
create it, and set its ownership and write-permissions to be identical
to those of the other three.  Then, dismount the network volume, mount
it again via the Chooser, and set the "View by" arrangement to whatever
you wish - this time it will "stick" properly.
