builds the desktop file to add the new files. If there are a large number of
files this can take some time before the file list/Icons appears.

I've written a small utility that rebuilds the desktop database based on any
files in a given volume that have their BNDL bit set.
If anyone's interested please let me know and I'll see about packaging it up for
public consumption.
