Assuming that's "Local File", then yes they should show up in the table as well.

What happens if you create a new document, add a new (empty) pub and then drop 
a file into that pub's file pane (editor window)?  If you save that document 
and close/reopen it, does the file still show up?

Ewww, automount.  Last I worked with that was on Linux, and I had to set up NIS 
at the same time; I never tried adding non-Linux systems into the mix, though.  
Are you using NIS as well?  (not that it should matter...)  I generally used 
netatalk or samba to share from Linux/FreeBSD to OS X.

The partition shouldn't matter (I hope), just that the symlink is on the NFS 
mount and pointing somewhere else on the NFS mount.  Some of the File Manager 
functionality is probably emulated on NFS, so it may behave differently than we 
expect.
