Reproducibility: Random but often enough to be problematic

Description: This is breaking servers as people will get kicked on map change because of version mismatch! Join your server with a custom map from workshop, it says version mismatch because you (the client) are up to date from workshop, when server is not. Restart server, server log says all items are 'state 4' meaning up to date, when all items are obviously not 'state 4' because the version of the map on server is the old one. You have to dig deep in server files to fix this, it is there since day one of workshop for server, so please fix it it is really annoying to have a half working functionality, it is already annoying to manage because you did not put a page in webadmin to manage workshop items and you have to multiple reboot to have the workshop map ready to vote ingame (add the item number to config file, start server, let it download, stop server, grab the map filename in the cache folder after struggling to find the map in all these folders, add the filename to config file to have it available in webadmin, start server, go to webadmin, then add map to map cycle), so if we also have to be expert in detecting the non updated map and have to use manual fixes to have the map to update, this is non sense.

Here is what you have to do to fix this issue when you detect a map is not updating because server thinks it is up to date: http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showpost.php?p=1485467&postcount=20
