Dolphin file manager will not do real time file posting 64 b

I have 2 machines:
Machine # 1 - Asus P5Q Deluxe, C2Duo 3.0GHZ, 4.0 GB ram, nVidia 8500, openSUSE 11.2 64-bit, KDE 4.3.5

Machine # 2 - Biostar P4M80-M4, 2.4 gHZ, 2.0 GB ram, openSUSE 11.2 32-bit, KDE 4.3.5

I am having a little concern about the way Dolphin file manager behaves in the 64 bit openSUSE[Machine # 1] and am wondering if there is a solution for it.
Every file I download from the net goes into a 'Check' folder, and I check it over before moving it to it's proper place.
In the [Machine # 2]32bit version openSuse 11.2, I can watch files being downloaded to that 'Check' folder. I call this realtime file posting.
In the [Machine # 1]64 bit openSUSE 11.2, I have to close the 'Check' folder and reopen it to see the downloaded file, so, everytime I download something, I have to close and reopen the 'Check' folder. It does not post the file to the folder until the folder has been closed and reopened.
I have checked the settings of both machines for Dolphin file manager and can see nothing [apparently] different, yet this still persists.
Would anyone have any ideas why this might be and how I can correct this?
Thanks

Instead of closing Dolphin, try to refresh (F5). Does the file appear?

This sounds like it may be filesystem or kernel related, rather than a bug with Dolphin. If refresh works, then this is likely the case, and can you test with another file manager?
