Sounds to me like an NFS bug; some older NFS implementations have
problems with caching, such that files don't appear immediately after
they're created. Are both your client and server systems the same
OS/version, or are you using a NAC or Auspex or something as an NFS
server?
You might try asking on comp.protocols.nfs.
