Second, is there a scripting solution around it?
It's because Win2K, and Win2003K server both use an old version of AFP that

There's not many solutions if you wish to continue using AFP:
1) Get a third party AFP server for Windows that is using a current version
of AFP
2) Stuff/Zip everything and use 31 - character file names.
Depending on your client OS's, you can use SMB and still maintain resource
forks.
