AppleScript

tell window "name" of application "Finder"
  update every file
end tell

Finder is notorious for being slow to update windows. It started with OS neXt. 
I usually have problems with things like curl and it's easy to run the 
AppleScript using the osascript tool with a << "here" document that contains 
the script.
