Syncing WINE Files Across Linux via Dropbox Fails

I've recently come into an issue with syncing WINE files across two linux PCs via dropbox. Basically, if I stick my `~/.wine` folder into Dropbox, it completely freezes (i.e., it won't even start syncing); however, if I remove the wine files, Dropbox resumes as usual.

What is causing this? Is it due to mixing two different file systems together?

NOTE: The primary contents of my `~/.wine` is Microsoft Office.

Maybe it doesn't like the '.' try renaming the dir to just 'wine'
