It is a Mac problem. Do a search for ._ or dot underscore files for more info.

Removed previous post about them being Windows lock/temp files. @Ton Frederiks is correct.

Wait. No, those are from a Mac. Sorry! I go back and forth all the time, and I forget which lock/temp file each OS makes. Anyway, they are harmless lock/temp files.
