This is a known bug in the Finder. The problem is that the underlying file-information calls the Finder is using are completely asynchronous in Panther
Harald says that "update" does not work either. Are you saying that the underlying calls for "update" are asynchronous as well? That would imply that there is no deterministic difference between calling "update" and not calling it, wouldn't it?
