I wouldn't be quite so quick to dismiss the idea.

There is a protocol for sending network messages about file updates and
deletes over networks. It's been a while since I looked at how it's
implemented. And of course, whether it's implemented in all networking
file systems or not. 

But, for instance, if you open an explorer window on a file system and
then, from another window or another computer, delete files in that
file system, there is a short delay but the explorer window finds out,
refreshes itself and the files go away.

I don't know if it's only on delete or other notify-type things too.
