I have been scanning some negatives (and some prints lacking

those images in the camera, and delete the resource fork file created
by the PC-based SD card, identified by a filename beginning with "_"

I used to have the same problem copying music to an MP3 player. The
player would try and play the ._Music Track Name.mp3 files. It couldn't
play them of course and would just skip over them, but unfortunately
that meant if I clicked the previous track button it would move back to
a ._ track, try to play it, give up, and go forward again. I kept a
simple terminal script on the MP3 player to delete the ._ files which I
would run after copying music to it.

All it did was rm Music/._*
i.e. delete all files in the Music folder beginning with ._

An easier, safer solution would be something like WinFSCleanser.

"Deletes those pesky '._' resource fork files from a chosen folder,
found on some filesystems, which the user defines. Can delete other Mac
and Windows invisible files too."
