[OpenAFS] windows explorer not auto-refreshing

I've been playing around with the OpenAFS client and redirecting "My
Documents" to my AFS home directory.

I've successfully done this by setting the redirect to the UNC name
\\%machinename%-AFS\ALL\ANDREW.CMU.EDU\USR\%user%\MYDOCS

I have the AFS network provider installed and it is successfully
getting tokens for me when I log in.

All seems good BUT if I do "Start... My Documents" and then open a
subfolder, the subfolder is in a weird state. It only shows changes
when I refresh the folder---if I create a new folder, it doesn't show
up until I hit F5.

My machine is a fully patched Windows XP. I'm running a very recent
OpenAFS---later then the most recent installer available. My DC is a
Windows .net server, but I doubt this is causing the problem.
