BTW -- found the cause of this:
   Under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters


There are 3 values to control cache lifetime.

FileInfoCacheLifetime (default 10 seconds)
FileNotFoundCacheLifetime (default 5 seconds)
DirectoryCacheLifetime (default 10 seconds)

The FileNotFoundCacheLifetime looks to be the culprit -- since
when I traced the ethernet traffic with wireshark, I would see
multiple responses of 'notfound' before it finally showed up.

I reset my 5-second value to 3, and your script passed over
its value in 3 seconds after that...

You might have to reboot your machine to ensure the value gets
propegated to the LANmanworkstation client.


There are other ways, but none that reliable.
