No I don't have any hidden file options set.  Just the defaults.
(Only set options, then all options from testparm)
root at aixprod1# echo | testparm 2> /dev/null | grep -i hide
root at aixprod1# echo | testparm -v 2> /dev/null | grep -i hide
         hide dot files = Yes
         hide special files = No
         hide unreadable = No
         hide unwriteable files = No
         hide files =

Thanks,
Mike
