I think it's a problem from asynchronious implementation. Cofs based opn
fuse. Check for problems with "emacs + fuse"

What coLinux version?

Check the kernel logs ("dmesg"). Any errors on cofs?

In coLinux 0.7.3 and 0.8.0 exist the option "nocache".
Try this, for example:
  mount -t cofs cofs0 -o nocache /mnt/windows
