Hi,

Its probably because Linux does not know that the change occur...
Linux will cache the data and will not reread it from the disk
everytime.  It might be possible to force the read without the
remount - I don't know.

I use NFS to share file and scp to transfer them and it works well.
You setup the networking (tun) between both OSes and you configure
NFS and/or start the ssh server.
