I set auto save to nil after discovering this, but they keep popping up. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

It's not the typical #filename#, it's making a dotfile .#

    Those are lock files. See my answer here: http://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/8193/untracked-file-in-a-git-repository/8194#8194 – nanny Aug 07 '15 at 16:21
  • @nanny Thank you so much. I need to disable them completely...but only for a certain directory. Is there any way I could do that? – m0meni Aug 07 '15 at 16:23
  • Unless you reimplement that functionality in Emacs Lisp, no. – wasamasa Aug 07 '15 at 16:26
  • @AR7 You could use a `.dir-locals.el` file: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Directory-Variables.html – nanny Aug 07 '15 at 16:27
  • That wouldn't work that well because `create-lockfiles` isn't a buffer-local variable. – wasamasa Aug 07 '15 at 16:43
  • @wasamasa Ah, you're right, thanks. – nanny Aug 07 '15 at 16:54
