I'm not sure what's causing this, but I'm finding that the Solaris CIFS shares 
don't update automatically like windows shares do.

A couple of examples:

If I right-click the folder and create a new file:
- In windows, the new file appears, is selected, and I can simply type the 
name.  When I press enter it's renamed and appears in the window.
- On a solaris share, no file appears until I manually refresh.  I then have to 
select the file manually and rename it.  However, after renaming it the file 
still appears with the old name until I hit refresh again.  If I try to delete 
the renamed file before hitting refresh I get an error "Cannot delete file: 
Cannot read from source file or disk."

Similarly, if I drag a file into a Solaris share, the file does not appear 
until I hit F5 to refresh the window.

This will be a particular problem if we roll this out as Windows doesn't have a 
refresh button in its explorer windows, and our users will almost certainly not 
understand why their new files don't appear.
