I just realized I copied the wrong alias. Oops. The above command
looks for files named ".AppleDouble", which isn't what you want. 

This is what you want instead:

alias remove_appledoubles='find . -name "._*" -print -exec rm -rf "{}" \;'

Or without the alias:

find . -name "._*" -print -exec rm -rf "{}" \;

Sorry for the confusion!
