If they are created, it means that the IMD metadata domain is set on your 
GeoTIFF files. Presumably because it is also set in the source images you use. 
There's no option to suppress writing the IMD files when the IMD metadata 
domain is set on a GeoTIFF file. So either make sure it is not set, or suppress 
the .imd as a postprocessing.

But just doing a plain driver.Create() without setting metadata should not 
result in a .imd file being written.

Odd setup. I presume you know what you are doing ;-)
