I've seen the same thing often, sometimes with the native stacks that 
ship with Rev. It has to do with the file type and creator codes in OS 
X, but I haven't been able to quite pin it down. Sometimes reassigning 
the codes with a third-party utility makes the stacks visible in the Rev 
"open file" dialog, but occasionally even that doesn't work. I'm not 
sure it's entirely a Rev thing; I'm more inclined to blame the Finder.
