call me a non-believer but - did you 'refresh'?

I'm just wondering if there is a 'redirect' of a share going on -
meaning an SMB mount on a Linux box which is then sharing it via Samba
to other Windows users - then there might be a significant lag time of
when the Samba share actually gets updated file information.

Consider using some patience and checking back (and a refresh) every 5
minutes and my guess is that the change will eventually percolate down
to the filesystem.
