This is odd. A Mac OS user (Mountain Lion) generates a PDF file directly on a Freenas SMB share.
Build: FreeNAS-9.2.1.5-RELEASE-x64 (80c1d35)
The PDF file is created successfully, but it's grayed out in the Mac UI, and attempting to replace the file gives a "this file is invisible" error on the Macintosh.

The "HIDDEN" attribute is set on the file as soon as it's created.

This does not happen when he saves a file or copies a file to the share. It only happens when he generates a PDF directly on the share from an Adobe application (Indesign in this case.)
If he generates the PDF locally and copies it over, it's fine.

We're talking about Adobe software, and they've long ago demonstrated a boneheaded inability to make their software work reliably with network shares of any kind, but I'm hoping someone else might have seen something like this.
