hmm... I'm not sure what's causing the problem.

If I open TextMate, select Open and navigate to some directory, then go 
to Terminal, cd to this directory and write 'touch foo.txt' and cmd-tab 
back to TM, the new foo.txt is there instantly -- also works if I 
remove foo.txt. And it doesn't matter whether or not the open dialog is 
open, it's always up-to-date.

So I can't reproduce this. Where both of you using normal Apple 
formatted partitions? And could you try just this 'touch foo.txt' thing 
to see if there's something 100% reproducible?

And also check other programs which use the Ccooa open dialog (like 
TextEdit).
