#243 Files dock not updating when using samba share in a Site

I have a site defined with a path leading to a samba
share (i.e. "Path" under "Site->Site Settings" is set
to smb://myserver/myhome/websites/mywebsite/). However
when files are added on this share (either externally
through Nautilus or even in Screem itself), the "Files"
dock refuses to update and list the new file. The only
way I can find to make it show the newly created file
was by restarting Screem to force it to reread the
directory.

Although I am not sure where the problem lies and
wether perhaps gnome-vfs is to blame, it might be
useful to have a function in Screem to force it to
reread the directory or otherwise force the "Files"
dock to update.

    Forgot to mention that this is with screem-0.16.1 / gnome
    2.12 / FreeBSD 6.0.

    (Note to self: stop reporting bugs at 5am !)

    I'm sorry, it seems the problem isn't occuring anymore. I do
    not know why, I did test to see if it was reproducable and
    for a short period it was, but now it's not anymore. I
    didn't change any settings in either my OS or Screem. If I
    run into it again and find a way to consistently reproduce
    it on another machine, can I comment on this bug again or
    should I report a new one if this one is closed?

    Also, I did find another bug related to samba shares and
    renaming files, but I will make a new report for that (if I
    find that it's not reported already).

    comment in this bug, I'll be leaving it open for a while
    even if you don't reproduce it, just incase others do.
