  Yeah, it looks like the code that increases the nrof should also make a call 
to (PlugHooks[HOOK_ESRVSENDITEM]) ().

  It's actually a little trickier - if the object in question is in a players 
inventory, that hook works fine.

  However, if the object is on the ground where the player is standing, then we 
update_look tag for the object probably needs to be updated.

  I also notice that the existing CFSetQuantity is a bit odd - it calls 
PlugHooks[HOOK_UPDATEOBJECT](), which doesn't make a lot of sense - the 
updateobject changes how the map looks (eg, face), but changing the nrof of 
objects is not likely to actually change the face.
