We share the same Mac-volumes with samba to Windoze-clients, because they
must have access to the same files. First we we're getting .AppleDouble
dirs everywhere, until I noticed that there's a nifty option in Samba to
delete these files. If you're not running samba, you could always write a
script that searches all sub dirs and deletes those folders before
backup. But in samba, add following parameters:

delete veto files = Yes

veto files = /.AppleDouble/.AppleDesktop/Network Trash Folder/
DesktopFolderDB/resource.frk/ICON/Icon/TheVolumeSettingsFolder/

I don't exactly what mac's think about deleting these files, but it works
for us.
