Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Release:	14.04
Codename:	trusty
Linux xubuntu32 3.13.0-29-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 4 21:02:19 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

I am virtualizing xubuntu with virtualbox (4.3.12) with the latest guest additions.

I have a shared folder mounted under /media/sf_foo. 
If I copy a file from that directory to a directory folder, everything works as expected the first time. 

For example /media/sf_foo/test.c to /home/joris/Desktop/myproj/test.c

If I modify this file on the host and repeat the copy, thunar keeps copying the old version of test.c. Even if I delete "/home/joris/Desktop/myproj/test.c" first and then copy it, the issue occurs. Thunar appear to be using some sort of cache?

If I execute the following in the console "cp /media/sf_foo/test.c /home/joris/Desktop/myproj/test.c", it works as expected! The new contents are properly copied now.

Please retry with git master or wait for the next release, it should be fixed now.
