Good.

There are three options for X-bits:
"map archive" maps the owner x-bit to the DOS "archive" attribute
"map hidden" maps the world x-bit to the DOS "hidden" attribute
"map system" maps the group x-bit to the DOS "system" attribute

All but the first of these defaults to off. Now this makes me wonder why map 
hidden seems to have been in effect for you. Was it set to yes/true in the 
global section?
