I'm wondering if it is because of attribute cache. Maybe attribute cache
(either in fuse or gluster, don't know yet) is not getting invalidated for
some reason. Try each of the following and check if any of them make the
test work right:

#1 mount glusterfs with --attribute-cache=0

#2 disable stat prefetch with : gluster volume set $name
performance.stat-prefetch off


That should help diagnose the problem further.

Thanks
