Won't check in dot files

[iSeriesCodePoet]

We are using Eclipse for some development and the project has some important hidden dot files (for example ".myfile_properties"). These file hold some properties that are not kept in the source file itself. However, we are not able to add these files to VSS. The client version I am using is 6.0d. I have tried through VSS client and the eclispe plugin. It comes back with an error, 'Invalid SourceSafe syntax: "$/Modified Lawson Source/AMRPGSRC8/.iseries_srcpf_metadata"'.

Any ideas?

FYI, I got an answer on another forum (

The solution is that this is a bug and should be fixed in VSS 2005.
