Courtesy of the grinning masterminds at MacOSXHints.com (http://www.macosxhints.com/) comes this very useful hint:
To stop the Finder from scattering .DS_store files on networked volumes, open the terminal and type the following command:
defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true
Mac OS X 10.4-only, it seems.
Or, of course, you could just use Path Finder which doesn't write, add, or cavort with .DS_store files, ever. (Had to slip that in there).
