yes its like a blueharvest solution, i will have a look
once it is clean, will it always be fine, or will be something i will have to clean every now and then

its nothing to do with the format of the usb stick is it?

No, it's OS X being goofy; those clone files are representations of the resource forks for those files. The cleanup tools mentioned earlier will fix this problem, but it must be re-applied when new files are added.
