Brian,

If you need to use FSRef, maybe you could have a look at the MoreFilesX 
library on the CD (path "Donations:Programming Examples:"). There is a 
couple of untested functions namely FSSetInvisible and FSClearInvisible 
that can be helpful. The library makes use of a specific Toolbox header 
containing a bunch of useful declarations. I don't know if that will 
solve your problem with Tiger though.
