Dear all

Kafs doesn't notice that new directory or file appears.

Reproducer:

z600 is using openafs 
htpc is using openafs
t470 is kafs (6.8.0-rc4-00034-g8d3dea210042)

1) using z600:
cd /afs/station.com/tmp
mkdir testdir
cd /afs/station.com/tmp/testdir

2) using htpc: (OK)
cd /afs/station.com/tmp/testdir

3) using t470 (NOK fails because directory didn't exist)
cd /afs/station.com/tmp/testdir
cd: tiedostoa tai hakemistoa ei ole: /afs/station.com/tmp/testdir


But directory appears after:
cd /afs/station.com/tmp
echo hello > hello.txt
cd /afs/station.com/tmp/testdir



Using file:
z600:
echo hello >  /afs/station.com/tmp/testdir/hello.txt

htpc: (OK)
ls  /afs/station.com/tmp/testdir/ 
hello.txt

t470: (NOK, file doesn't appear)
ls  /afs/station.com/tmp/testdir/

But file appears after:
masu at t470 testdir % cat hello.txt
cat: hello.txt: No such file or directory
masu at t470 testdir % echo > foofoo
masu at t470 testdir % cat hello.txt
hello
