Updating binary with same file name not working

Hello,

I've been using mbed for 5 years and I've never seen this problem, so maybe the unit I'm using right now is defective, but here it goes:

Whenever I try to replace the current *.bin file inside the mbed USB mass storage with a new one with the same name, the mbed still executes the old one.

But if I load some *.bin with a different name, it works.

Basically right now everytime I have to load a new version of my binary I first load mbed_blinky example, reset and make sure the blinky is working, and then load my new file and only then it works(if I jut change the file name it doesn't work either).

Unforutnatelly I'm unable to test it on other units as I only have one until next week. Does anybody else have this problem?

I'm using mbed on a fully updated mac(made sure the hidden directories inside the mbed are empty), online mbed compiler, file name is only 13 characters long and alphanumeric.
