I believe the 0 and 1 should be switched here. With the code as it is, the behaviour is
the reverse of what is expected: the hidedotfiles mount option disables setting the hidden
attribute and the nohidedotfiles enables it.

Hello,

I have found a bug in your patch. I explained it above. Also, the patch will only set the 
hidden attribute when a new file or directory is created. It will not set it (or unset it)
when files or directories are moved or renamed.

Best regards,
Daniel Pinto
