nautilus needs manual refresh to show changes in cifs mounted folders

[Peter Parzer]

If the nautilus window shows files from network folders mounted with cifs, changes in this files are mostly not shown until a manual refresh (F5).

For Example if I type "touch test" in the terminal the new file is not shown until I refresh with F5. But after "rm test" the change is shown. Changes from other users over the network are never shown without explicit refresh.
