I used the Finder's 'update' command to make 'rm'-ed files disappear.
But my problem was a bit different ... the file would not disappear
until the GUI tried to display it, so the Finder continued to think
the file still existed. Your results may vary. Here's my example,
FWIW ...
on remove(itemAlias)
try
tell application "Finder"
set itemName to (name of itemAlias)
set itemCont to (container of itemAlias) as alias
end tell
do shell script "rm -fr " & (quoted form of POSIX path of itemAlias)
tell application "Finder" to update item itemName of itemCont
end try
end remove

The discussion about rsync got me interested in trying rsync.
Sometimes when I use rsync, however, the finder doesn't get updated
to show the changes. When I use ls to list the files from the shell
I see the changes, but I don't see them in the GUI. Is there some
AppleScript (or do shell script) way to force the GUI to update and
show the changes?
Here is a portion of my script:
set rsyncScript to "rsync -aEv --delete /Volumes/500A/test/ /
1TB:test"
do shell script rsyncScript
