I've seen this. Its the way the Mac deals with resource forks/metadata on files when copied over to a MS-DOS based filesystem.

The way I delete them is from Terminal.app - sorry, I don't know of a way to stop OSX creating those files.

It would be better if the BeBook just ignore files that start '._' in its listing.
