(OS X) Preventing writing of ".DS_Store" and "._filename" resource to network drives.

Hi All,

I'm looking to solve an issue with ".DS_Store" and "._filename" files created on Network drives using OS 10.4.10. Basically the old faithful "defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true" works, but only for ".DS_Store" files. The "._filename" files still get written. I've also tried BlueHarvest but it doesn't seem to have any effect on the "._filename" files either.

So I have two questions:

1) Is there a way, perhaps through Growl, to get system notifications on file copies and then check for a "._filename" to delete?

2) Does anyone have an *automated* solution that actually works for both?

Thanks!
