Hi,
I've had similar problems in the past. I usually just filter out the
files you mentioned, e.g. ignore them. There are also AppleScript
etc. that will delete them for you, do a google and you are bound to
find them. Bottom line: it's not worth trying to treat them as normal
files.
All the Best

Ideally you should, because it contains some user data (like the
view settings, I think). But as you've discovered, the way the
Finder touches these files all the time makes it very awkward to
sync them, so I think people usually just ignore them.
