Windows XP has a habit of filling any folders which happen to contain 
images with a Thumbs.db file, marked as hidden. (Since I'm guessing a 
USB stick would be FAT-formatted, the "hidden" attribute is available.) 
This files can become large is a folder contains many images, or just if 
there's a lot of folders so all the files add up.

Alternatively, maybe K3b means files starting with "." (assuming you 
have any), as Jim suggested.
