The solution you suggested was the first thing I tried. Since that did not
work, I went along with the "veto file" directive. The "veto files" directive
worked but would not allow me to write any files to the directory.

After you note, I tried it again to test it. The "hide dot files" alone does
not hide the dot files. The "vet file" with the the file syntax will hide
those files.
