confused with hiding a directory

[raubvogel]

Sorry for taking so long; I had to put that server into production. So I
built another (the first one is an ubuntu one), applied your patch to
nginx-0.8.50 (it did not bark), and compiled it. So, I set the conf dir
as 

[code]
location /conf {
            hidden;
        }
[/code]

and restarted nginx. Unfortunately I can still see the directory. Did I
miss anything?
