Sounds like a caching issue to me. After you have accessed the file, it's in the cache and you can see it.
More specifically, it sounds like a client-side caching issue. I've seen this happen on linux clients if I'm *really* fast on the trigger.
So how do I fix it.
We actually have a widespread problem with files and directories "disappearing"... as it is one user in particular it might be pilot error, but it might be this. Because this is happening to two competent users.
Is fs-cache enabled?
