Lars: Let me start off by making sure that you and your user know that "fs flush" is used to flush a single file. If you want to flush a volume you use "fs flushvolume". In RC4 there will also be "fs flushall". (RC4 is being packages as I write this.)
If you can replicate the situation on a regular basis you can attempt to debug it using a network monitor and the AFS Client trace logging on the machine that is failing to see the changes. You will want to increase the trace buffer size to something huge (50,000 entries). See afs-install-notes.txt for debugging tips and registry.txt for the locations of the registry values. Once you have an afsd.log and network trace that demonstrates the problem, send them as part of a bug report to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The most likely issue is that the client is not receiving a callback break. If this is machine that is assigned random IP addresses it could be a problem that is fixed in the server in the 1.4.0 RC1 release. Or it could simply be that the client is behind a firewall/NAT that does not keep the UDP port open/mapped long enough for the server to be able to successfully send the callback break.
