I just noticed that there is a related thread on the FDK
developers' list, starting with:
  http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/frame_dev/message/1516

The current conclusion seems to be that it's an issue with 
the number of files, that it is new with Frame 9, and:

I don't know if FrameScript lets you do that, or how useful
it would be in your situation to have "invisible" files open.

HTH...
