More precisely the folders are:
"Network Trash Folder"
"TheFindByContentFolder"
"TheVolumeSettingsFolder"
The first is standard for all SFM volumes, for keeping track of files
dragged from the volume to the Trash. The second I think is created by
MacOS 9's indexing capability. The last refers to "Mac volumes" not any
sound setting and may have to do with folder views. In addition to these
Hidden folders there is the ICON file and Symantec's Norton AntiVirus (and
the earlier versions called "SAM") also make their own invisible files in
volumes to keep track of what's been scanned.

My first guess is that there was no technical problem, that she didn't
actually copy them into the folder. Can she replicate the problem for you?
Does the server have something like Norton AntiVirus with AutoProtect? If
the file was infected with a virus and the AutoProtect was set to deny
access when a virus is found, the file would not be copied to the server,
with no warning to the user about what happened. Changing the AutoProtect
setting to "Repair" is the solution to that. It should also be set to alert
a system administrator so the client machine can be checked.
