Karl, I don't want to sound negative but this sounds like a very difficult problem to solve since its your webdav client, mac os x, that wants to put the "._" files in there and expects them to be there when it requests them. If they do contain metadata then it suggests that mac os x will want to see it or update it at sometime. So if you do fake the files existence in Slide how will you fake the metadata content when mac os wants to see the contents of the "._" file, or modify it?
Alternatively, if these metadata files are entirely unecessary and mac os x doesn't use them for anything once they are created (except to check they exist) then are they a defunct feature of the os and can the feature be disabled with an os or filesystem configuration setting?
