I seem to recall for nautilus to detect changes to the file system it relies on the fam (blasted cdrom problem!) daemon running in the background. If it is not, nautilus will not see the changes until you manually refresh it. FAM is a service, so you can use chkconfig to see if it is set to run at boot time. Doug
