These control files should certainly be included in gphoto's listing of the file system, as they are genuine files that can be downloaded (though gphoto -T chokes on these, gphoto -P successfully downloads them).  I believe Digikam should be responsible for checking the information about these files and omitting them from the listing displayed to the user as well as not attempting to download them.  When I get a chance, I'll poke around the gphoto API and try to figure out how to do this.

I'll open a bug with gphoto, as this affects gphoto -T and libgphoto should not choke when asked to download a control file as a thumbnail.  I'll leave this bug as resolved at least until I get something useful from gphoto.

If I'm not mistaken, these three files are related to the Z700's "easy share" capabilities.  On the camera, there is a way to tag photos, mark them for later emailing, etc.  It would be really cool if digikam could honor these files (the file format looks pretty trivial, though I haven't experimented with it), but I'd be perfectly happy with it ignoring them.
