Yep, those are little metadata files that Mac OS X makes when it touches files on a non-HFS+ formatted drive (HFS+ is the native Mac file system). I believe an app like TinkerTool should be able to disable those files, as well as making them visible so that you can delete them. They're not actually important.

This has prompted me to finally fill out that part of the Mac FAQ at Mac_FAQ#AppleDouble (wiki). It comes up quite often. Cheers.
