dot_clean -m [disk name]
You can find the names of your disks by typing
mdutil -sa

Update:
Well, this seems to work on local drives but not network drives. I found a utility that (among other things) has a check box that deletes the files off the network and prevents them in the future: http://www.maintain.se/cocktail/index.php
Update2:
Type this command in terminal so that OS X never saves ._DS files on network drives again
defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true
Here's the apple page about this
