I've just been wondering about this also. One issue is that it seems like the trick (change folders modification date) doesn't work if you mount with the "local" option. In that case my changes are not picked up until I deselect the volumn in the finder and then reselect it.
To work around this issue in addition to changing the modification date I also make a call to [NSWorkspace noteFileSystemChanged:]. I don't know if that's really the right way to do things, but it does seem to make the Finder update quickly.
