Hmm, NetAccess::copy calls KIO::file_copy, which doesn't emit FilesAdded....
So I guess in worked in 3.0.x simply due to KDirWatch noticing the new file?

If that's the case, then I'd guess KDirWatch got broken. Try "touch newfile" from
a terminal to see if it notices it.
KDirWatch's debug output will tell you which method you're using (Stat, FAM or DNOTIFY).
Which one is it?

[One change I'm aware of, is that CopyJob doesn't emit FilesAdded/FilesRemoved
anymore when simply renaming.... but that's not your case here (you are simply
renaming, but not using CopyJob.  FileCopyJob is the low-level one that only copies
one file, and doesn't emit anything.).]

In any case, I'd recommend that you emit FilesAdded (see job.cpp for examples),
so that you make sure the directory listing gets updated. Relying on KDirWatch is...
well, a good way of finding out its bugs ;)
