I'd go with Mike's suggestion and just watch the store file for changes.

Though it may not be the most efficient, I've had success using - [NSManagedObjectContext reset] from a second process when there's a change to a store. In my case case, the code is fairly linear — all I do is run a fetch request for some data after resetting. I don't know how this will work with bindings and a complicated UI, but you may be able to post a notification to manually update things if it's not handled automatically.
