stats file doesn't seem to update

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It doesn't seem like the stats file updates when it should. On many occasions, 
I've looked at the stats file a few seconds, a few minutes, or even many 
minutes apart and found it to have exactly the same contents as it did before, 
even though there had been much s3backer activity since the last time I looked 
at it.

I noticed that it appears in the filesystem as a file rather than a device. I 
wonder if the kernel or fuse is caching its contents because it knows that 
nothing has written to the file since the last time it was read? If so, then 
perhaps it has to be made a device rather than a file so that it'll get reread 
every time it is opened?
