For every video that Pogoplug is serving to PS3, I can also see a second file.

For instance; if the original file is called:

bladerunner.avi

There will be a second file called:

._bladerunner.avi

I cannot see these files through Finder on my Mac, or through the web interface. I can't even see them if I 'show hidden files'. They only show up on the PS3. If I delete one file, the other will usually disappear too, but I do have a few that have been left behind.

This has only started happening over the last couple of months, but it is very annoying.

I know this is probably a setting I have changed...probably due to the weekly visit to Pogoplug preferences to TURN ON MEDIA SHARING AGAIN!!!!!!! (...and breathe)

Is anybody else having the same problem...and can anybody help?
