Ok, that is a consideration worth looking into.
For my testing, I have deleted the files at mount and then used my app
to write files. Neither of the directories in question reappear. I
will be testing with embroidery machines later this week.
As a note, the home embroidery market is dominated by Windows.
Besides this issue, there are others related to file IO and floppy
formatting that generate errors when coming from Mac but work just
fine when coming from Windows. We are trying to satisfy the "Mac
Embroiderer" with our first product and a few more in the pipeline.

Well you probably shouldn't be doing this while the volume is mounted;
you have no guarantee that the directories won't be recreated. I'd be
particularly concerned about .fseventsd, since deleting that folder is
itself going to cause an FSEvent.
You might want to consider unmounting the volume and using a FAT-aware
tool to operate on the filesystem without mounting it.
