I've had odd issues like this in the past with KDE/Dolphin, but lately I've moved to Cinnamon, and using Nemo file manager, I've still seen the same results lately with NFS files not appearing with it too occasionally.  It isn't alone.

I have some other systems that move data around for me, when I look and expect to see a file/folder there, I don't, but checking via cli or even just another file browser, it *is* there.  Restarting Nemo with killall works, but is annoying none the less. I had this as well with even Kodi not seeing files updated remotely, which leads me to believe it's more at the local client kernel level, but I've seen this across many revs of kernels now from 3.x to now 4.10 on my current desktop.

Not sure if NFS modules or the clients viewing the fs are more to blame, but interested in feedback too if anyone notices the same, or how to fix.

Once again I am having NFS issues with Dolphin and a different user.
I must say up front that I can traverse the directory structure using midnight-commander and any other command line tool just fine. I have also used the Xfce file manager Thunar and it works just fine. I know my permissions are correct, only Dolphin is having a problem.

I generally have permissions 750 on folders and 640 on files.

I have users:

nathan:x:500:500:Nathan:/home/nathan:/bin/bash
classroom:x:507:507:Classroom:/home/classroom:/bin/bash

and groups:

nathan:x:500:
classroom:x:507:


These are the same on all the clients and the server hosting the nfs share.
I have the following directory structure on my server

/Vault (drwxr-xr-x    9 nobody users 4.0K Feb 22 14:49 Vault)
/Vault/Media (drwxr-x---  11 nathan users    4.0K May 25 14:08 Media)
/Vault/Media/Movies (drwxr-x---  2 nathan parents    24K May 25 14:14 Movies)
/Vault/Media/Children (drwxr-x---  4 nathan classroom 4.0K May 25 14:09 Children)
/Vault/Media/Children/Movies (drwxr-x---  2 nathan classroom 4.0K May 25 14:09 Movies)
/Vault/Media/Children/Shows (drwxr-x---  7 nathan classroom 4.0K May 25 14:09 Shows)

The classroom user has a default group of classroom and I manually added classroom to the /etc/group file to make sure it is a member of the group.

I open Dolphin on any of my clients while logged in as the "classroom" user and navigate to /Vault/Media/Children and then there is nothing in there. It's empty. If I press F4 to open the konsole integration with dolphin I can see the two folders with ls. If I manually enter either one (cd Shows) and then type ls it shows the additional folders and Dolphin registers I'm in the new directory in the url bar, but still nothing shows up.

Again, thunar, mc, and everything else I've tried work, anything KDE related does not.
I just don't want to switch over to Xfce and stop using KDE. Maybe it's a principal thing, but this should be working, so I want it to work!

Any ideas?
