Problem is that whenever I call stat() with a "hidden" file (i.e. the
name starts with a period) I get a "no such file" error.

I'm sure I've done this before without any problems but I can't see
anything wrong with the code. I've googled for the details of stat()
to see if there were options of anything but can't find anything.

Any suggestions - or am I just imagining that it ever worked?

It's just a file ... The API should work regardless of it's name.

Is it possible that the filename has some kind of goofy or non-printable character in it (like space)?
