remotely updated file is not updated when read locally (sshfs)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Mount a sshfs disk. I do it with the following command:
sshfs aaa.fi:/proj/yyy3 /proj/yyy3 -oping_diskarb,volname=projyyy

2. Log into aaa.fi and create a file in /proj/yyy3
echo "Hello" > test.txt

3. Read it from the mount on the mac, cat test.txt correctly shows Hello

4. Update remotely the file
echo "world" >>test.txt

5. 
On aaa.fi cat test.txt shows
hello
world

Locally cat test.txt shows the old version
hello

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
macfuse 0.1.9
sshfs 0.1
Mac os x 10.4.8 (powepc)

sshfs is *not* a distributed network file system with funky synchronization 
capabilities. It simply is not. I did (not 
all done yet) some things in MacFUSE that will let you aproximate such behavior 
to some extent, but sshfs still 
won't be a distributed network file system.

Marking as duplicate because this has been talked about before.
