Is it possible, that your Mac is behind a firewall or somehow not  
able to get the callbacks?
It would completely fit what you're describing.

The first open on the Mac gets the file into the cache, and since no  
callbacks are received you will get that same version from that on  
until it's discarded from the cache.
