Nice script. Simple, but effective.

Just to mention, if the desire isn't to essentially rename (or move) all files to include a '.' at the front of them, you can merely put the names of the files/folders you want to hide into one specific '.' file. Just an alternative. Here is that script I threw together that will do just that: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Easily+Hide+Files%2BFolders+in+Nautilus?content=142912
