*NIX doesn't have a concept of hidden files. Files created as such aren't
stored that way, and Samba doesn't have an external map of individual
files and their DOS attributes.

You have to flag the filename pattern as hidden to Samba, then it will
return the appropriate attribute whenever the filename is encountered
