I converted the partitions to reiserfs, and just as on the test system, 
that solved the problem. When reconnecting (quitting the application and 
restarting it), it should connect to a new instance as opposed to 
keeping an open one... maybe some optimization is different when 
checking for additions as opposed to opening it for the first time?
