Of course, another issue could be Dropbox. I have heard, in the past, of issue with folders synching properly. I don't use it, myself, so can only suggest Googling "Dropbox folder issues" and you'll see what I mean. Surely something to consider if you've tried all of John's suggestions and are still having problems.

Thanks for the suggestion Jared, but I've been using dropbox with my BK files since it started. It's the best way for me to keep current on both my home computer and my laptop when I'm away from home.
