You are not supposed to directly access the ._ files as Mac OS X
expects it's the only one that will be touching them, especially on
10.4. If you try to manage them yourself you will have problems like
you have discovered.
Your best bet is to move all of your resource fork resource files to
data fork resource files. That will involve some minor changes to
your projects, but it should be a one time change and it will allow
you to use source control on your source tree.
