If it’s any help, Simon, I had a very similar problem, and I set 
afmDirLookupRefreshIntervaland afmFileLookupRefreshInterval to one day on an 
AFM cache fileset which only had software on it. It did make a difference to 
the users. And if you are really desperate to push an application upgrade to 
the cache fileset, there are other ways to do it.

These refresh intervals applies to all the lookups and not just for negative 
lookups. For working around in AFM itself, you could try setting these refresh 
intervals to higher value if cache does not need to validate with home often.

Another possible workaround would be to add wrappers for these apps and only 
add the AFM based gpfs directory to the LD_LIBARY_PATH when about to launch the 
app.
