Thanks for that great shell script, but unfortunately, once they're there, the problem has already happened. The destination folder is a "watched" folder that receives publishing jobs for a automated CDR writer. It's very quick an basically reads the files as soon as the appear. By the time the "dot" files would be deleted, they'd have already created an error.
Thanks,
John

Easier to delete them after the files are copied:
set someFolder to quoted form of (POSIX path of (choose folder) as string)
Do shell script "find -d " & someFolder & " -name \"\\.DS_Store\" -exec rm -f {} \\; ;find -d " & someFolder & " -name \"\\._*\" -exec rm -f {} \\;;find -d " & someFolder & " -name \"\\.FBCLockFolder\" -exec rm -fR {} \\;;find -d " & someFolder & " -name \"\\.FBCIndex\" -exec rm -f {} \\;")
This script removes all Mac specific files from the folder you select. There is probably a shorter command for this, if anyone knows how to wildcard the target files post it here.
You can also use rsync with the -a switch to turn off copying Mac resource files under 10.4.
