If you're testing from your server then it can be a server cache, not a browser cache.

I dont think its server cache.
This is my exact scenario.
shared lib swf is sharedLib.swf and it has symbol with "export to runtime sharing" set to relative URL sharedLib.swf .
testSharedLib.swf is the test swf which has the symbol on stage (meaning it has "import from runtime sharing" set to sharedLib.swf)
main.swf has loadMovie("sharedLib.swf?version=<math on time>") in first frame and second frame does attachMovie of the symbol.
With this setup , i see in cache files in IE 2 files
1. sharedLib.swf?version (this is due to explicit load)
2. sharedLib.swf (due to import from runtime sharing)
When i do some changes in the symbol , compile sharedLib.swf and deploy it ,after next time load ,i see that sharedLib.swf?version 's got updated but not the sharedLib.swf.
Problem is , relative URL given in export/import runtime sharing looks for sharedLib.swf in the cache.
Any way to make it work for shared lib swf's.

I have just tested it on both IE and Firefox on local PC, and the shared symbol was updated without any problem.
The only differences between my set up and yours are:
1. I didn't append any query strings when loading shared_lib.swf
2. I used MovieClipLoader class to load shared_lib.swf
May be you want to test with barebones set up?

The cache setting will not affect Flash shared library. Even if I set to "Never", the shared assets will be instantly updated. But this is because I'm testing this in the local environment; if you test this in the HTTP server things may be different.
