Richard,
You might try detaching and re-attaching the directory. The following
function works for me to fix a similar problem:
retach <- function(what = 1)
{
# detach and re-attach
searchlist <- detach(what)
attach(searchlist[what], pos = what)
invisible(search())
}
for example: retach(1)
to re-attach the work directory.
Yopu may have to close and re-open any object explorer pointing into that
directory.

Subject: [S] RE: Disappearing objects
Thanks to Greg Snow, Sam Buttrey, Nick Ellis, Patrick Connolly, and immhan
who suggested that using synchronize() might allow a user to see objects
created by someone else.
After a little experimentation, we determined that this does not work on our
platform (Windows95 PCs, Novell Netware on network. SPLUS 2000 Prof. Release
1). Exiting SPLUS and re-entering does work but is pretty inconvenient,
especially if you're working on a deadline.
