What happens if you reload the page in the browser using a forced reload
(shift-F5)? Do you use the blog plugin?

DokuWiki does not use access times (atime), but lastmodified times
(mtime) are used nearly everywhere - if those aren't updated on your NFS
shares this might be a real problem.

I fear putting the cache on the local disk wouldn't be enough because
you need the timestamp of the current page as well to compare it with
the cache file.
