SL directory wierdness

Yesterday I saved a file to my Documents folder and couldn't see it in the Finder. However, Spotlight had no problem locating it, displaying the path as /Volumes/SnowLeopard/Users/<shortname>/Documents. My question is why the discrepancy?

 

Here's another example from within Terminal:

 

Last login: Mon Sep 21 07:50:28 on ttys000

skip-OSX:~ skip$ touch foo.bar

skip-OSX:~ skip$ ls ~/foo.bar

/Users/skip/foo.bar

skip-OSX:~ skip$ ls /Volumes/SnowLeopard/Users/skip/foo.bar

ls: /Volumes/SnowLeopard/Users/skip/foo.bar: No such file or directory

skip-OSX:~ skip$

 

Shouldn't both views of the directory be consistent?

How can I force the caches to be updated?

 

Thanks,

--skip
