Make sure you have viewing hidden files and folders enabled. The dot means the . kodi folder is a hidden one.

Ah yes, sorry missed that (it's on the previous page).
On my Pi I've added the root folder to the SMB.conf file and access the root folder (and then storage and .kodi folders) via that.

Settings -> Appearance -> File lists: Activate "Show hidden files and directories"?
Edit: Sorry, mentioned already and apparently not the issue...

Ah ok. Now I get it. But I think that is pretty "normal". At least I'm not able to access the full .kodi folder via SMB from my Windows laptop per default either. Only some of the .kodi subdirectories appear as network drives on that laptop. I usally ssh into my HTPC to access "system" files, including addon folders. Have you already tried to ssh into your HTPC to see whether the files are where they should be?
And can you elaborate on what those version numbers "7.02" and "7.9" relate to, as I don't think these are version numbers of the Milhouse builds in here. You have installed a build from this thread, right?

OK, you should be able to create a samba.conf from the sample file in the Configfiles directory, adding a block to export the .kodi folder via SMB as well, which I believe is what you are looking for. The "Show hidden files and directories" option within Kodi/LE discloses those files within the Kodi file manager and are NOT related to which files you see on your Mac (those are the SMB exports). Don't know about your old installation but think your new one behaves normally.
I hope the above will give you the hints to solve your issue / customize your system the way you want it. If not, I would propose you create a new discussion on the LE forum. Happy to continue helping you over there, but we are running off-topic here.
