Stale files on samba share on aix?

Gentlemen;

We have several windows based applications that reference a logical
drive (i.e.: F:\) that is actually an smb link to a directory on an
AIX 5.1L system running samba version 2.2.1

What we are experiencing is that if a file on the samba drive is
updated, the logical drive on the Windoze machine points to the OLD
version. The only way to resolve this is to drop the connection then
re-map the connection.

When we asked about this some time ago someone recommended the
following line be added to our smb.conf file which we did:

> socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192

However, it didn't seem to resolve our issue.

Can anyone comment on or provide a means to allow our logical drive to
reflect the "current state" of the actual drive file(s)?

Thanks all,

Bob
