From the Finder dictionary -> Finder items -> Commands
update: Update the display of the specified object(s) to match their
on-disk representation
update reference -- the item to update
[necessity boolean] -- only update if necessary (i.e. a finder
window is open). default is false
[registering applications boolean] -- register applications.
default is true
So if you call update on the item before accessing it then its status
should be updated.

I'm having a prob with a special Applescript that mounts a server and
accesses it through the Volumes folder. It seems that when the server
is
ejected the Volumes folder doesn't update so an alias to a nonexistent
disk
is there and the script errors.
If I open the Volumes folder I glimpse the offending alias a moment
before
it disappears. This appears to be a bug in Panther.
After I force the folder to update this way the script runs normally.
Anyone know a way to force the folder to update without opening it?
