Hi John,

Try this in Terminal, the stuff in brackets is just for your info, it doesn't 
need typed:

cd / (should put you to the root level)
ls (Will list your files at that level.  Just to ensure ther isn't a double of 
the offending file)
chflags hidden /filename (where "filename" is the exact filename of the 
offending file)

You should be able to Quit Terminal and the file should now be hidden.

HTH.

Later...
