I have noticed things like this happening when I write Macintosh files to a Windows server. It creates some secondary file that is named the same as the main file, except it prepends the file with a dot. On the Mac, you won't see that file, as the Mac by default suppresses those files from being seen. But, nonetheless, they are there. I don't think they really hurt anything if they get deleted, at least, I have not had any trouble.

This has been happening for a while, but perhaps you just didn't
notice.  You can see the files in question by looking at the top of
the nightly build log for winxp:

http://autobuild.puredata.info/auto-build/2007-09-10/logs/
2007-09-10_05.54.04_mingw32_nt-5.1_windowsxp-i386_pd-extended_run-
automated-builder.txt

There are currently four files that NTFS rejects:

/externals/gridflow/doc/flow_classes/.inv*-icon.png
/externals/zexy/abs/.<~-help.pd
/externals/zexy/abs/.>~-help.pd
/externals/zexy/abs/.||~-help.pd
