Description
### What is the issue?
Sharing a taildrive from a Synology device exposes all the internal `@eaDir` directories that are used by Synology for internal book keeping and filtered out when using Synology's own `SMB` implementation or file browser.
These files should probably not be surfaced through the taildrive?
### Steps to reproduce
1. Expose a Shared Folder from a Synology device (following [instructions](https://tailscale.com/docs/features/taildrive?tab=synology#sharing-and-accessing-folders-with-taildrive)).
- `tailscale drive share media /volume3/media`
3. Access the shared folder from a user with `rw` permissions.
4. Notice `@eaDir` directories (normally hidden).
5. Attempt to recursively add music to `vlc`
6. VLC gets very upset about some of the files (inside `@eaDir` folders).
### Are there any recent changes that introduced the issue?
Enabling Taildrive & sharing from the Synology device.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the Taildrive Synology sharing path and the `tailscale drive share media /volume3/media` entry point, then reproduce the shared-folder access described in the issue. Done means `@eaDir` directories and their files are not surfaced through Taildrive, including during recursive music import in VLC.
