I can verify this with a lot more frequency (finder bug): in fact the
immediate "non-appearance" of files in the finder has become so common
place in my work flows that I no longer regard it as a problem... I
think of it more like it's a little kid who is hiding behind the bushes
for a bit, but will come out when he gets tired of not getting
attention... photoshop batch processing, Indesign Creo/Kodak Postscript
exports, Distiller hot folders driving PDF generation... processing AIFF
to ACC in itunes...Version Cue etc. output is very often invisible until
the finder "snaps out of it..." ...then all the kids show up... this
happens locally and more "egregiously" over the network on mounted
volumes--which is more understandable, but none the less disconcerting
for some. Blink, "Gee! it didn't work... (I get a support call......) Oh
Wait! never mind, its there now...sorry to bother you..."

FWIW, I have seen some rare cases where new files on the Desktop
aren't visible in OS X, and I've found I can make them visible by
"tickling" the Finder by trying to create either another file or a
folder with the same name -- then the Finder will give me "That name
is already used" warning, and the previously invisible file becomes
visible.
But I can't recall which programs I've seen this with. Maybe it was
just Rev/MC, but I believe this has also happened with a couple others.
It's been very rare, and I haven't been able to come up with a recipe
for reproducing it reliably.
Whatever the cause, I believe this is a bug in the Finder rather than
Rev. I could be wrong; if it was limited to just Rev maybe there's
something about the way they're using the API that isn't kosher. But
I suspect if that were the case the problem would be more consistently
evident, and in my experience it's very, very rare (may three times
over as many years).
