Writing over files creates a ton of error retrieving frame notifications for replaced files

This issue kills me, as it's only on a Windows PC that it's a problem. Works flawlessly on a mac.

This isn't exactly a solution to the issue, but here is what I have found. I frequently overwrite files from AE just like you describe.  I find that if the playhead in the Premiere sequence is not on or before the file I'm about to overwrite before I start the render, and I don't switch back to Premiere until the AE render is complete, then there's no issue.  If the playhead is on the file, however, the Premiere gets lost and nothing will fix it.  In some of those cases, even if I quit and restart Premiere, the issue holds.  What I find often resolves it is to quit Premiere, then delete the .ims or other database and media cache files for the given file, and then open Premiere back up.  I'm trying to remember, but I think there may have been some times where that didn't resolve it, but I'm pretty sure it does most of the time.  Anyway, without fail, if I don't have the playhead before or on the file, then I don't have any issues.  I don't know for certain of course, but my surmisal is that Premiere is constantly loading upcoming frames into memory, and if the frames from that file are loaded in memory while it's being overwritten, something gets broken in the project and/or database / cache file(s) for it that can't be repaired.  But if it's not in memory, then Premiere doesn't notice when it changes.

I agree that a "refresh file" command a la what's in After Effects, that can reconcile the database/cache files too, would be welcome.
