I have noticed things like this happening when I write Macintosh files to a Windows server. It creates some secondary file that is named the same as the main file, except it prepends the file with a dot. On the Mac, you won't see that file, as the Mac by default suppresses those files from being seen. But, nonetheless, they are there. I don't think they really hurt anything if they get deleted, at least, I have not had any trouble.
