Finding, deleting hidden files on SMB shares

  Hello,
    I'm writing a droplet that uploads items to an SMB share. I want to
eliminate the ".DS" and "._" that show up on the share after the upload.
However, I don't know how to address such "hidden" files in AppleScript. I
notice that even when I use a utility to "show hidden files" in the Finder,
I still don't see "._" files. Further, the AS "count" command doesn't
include a count of such files, implying AS doesn't "see" them either. So
far, nothing I've tried will delete these hidden files. Does anyone have a
suggestion?
   Thank you,
       Jim
