Check out the ".hidden" file.
I'd assumed there would be some way of filtering out all these
invisible files. Do I have to check individually by name for all the
ones which don't have "." prefixes and don't (seem to) have the
kIsInvisible flag?
You'll also want to skip 'special' Unix files. But that's easy,
because they usually cause an error when you try to create an FSRef
for them.
I'm passing all files on the system through the -isVisible filter, and
I'm not seeing any errors.

Jeremy
