To my knowledge, those belong to OS X.. Do they not show up in your  
OS X's trash? Do you have OS X on there? All I can tell is that there  
are OS X hidden directories, and it seems you're using OS 9 to do all  
the file moving, right? I say make them visible and do as you like  
with the data, and as long as your filesystem isn't reported bad by  
Disk Utility or Drive Setup, everything should be golden. No idea why  
your files are mysteriously going into those hidden folders, though.
