Try the "veto files" option. Generally this is put in an individual
share section of the configuration file. It lists files the same way
as hide files does. Veto files doesn't list or allow access to the
files - it is as if those files don't exist on the client side.

For more information, see the man page - smb.conf(5).

Have fun!
