I believe it's is all done via inotify. I've managed to seemingly solve the problem by increasing the value of /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches from the default to 32000. I initially tried an increase of 16000 and tested a few directories and they refreshed automatically, I doubled it just to be safe.
