I've seen this done, but it was with a sub-directory name of non-displayable
characters.  There exists a PD package of programs that ar called:
	MDSKRT		make directory secret
	CDSKRT		change directory secret
	RDSKRT		remove directory secret
when you list directories, the secret entries dont appear, but once you
have cd'ed to it you can access the files.  Pathnames cant include these
secret subdirectories (because you cant type it in)  
You should be able to find this software on a BBS near you
