Every time I open an assembly with "smart" fasteners, I get an exclamation on the fasteners. I have to do a right click an mark upto date manually. They always seem to be correctly positioned and I dont understand why it always gives me this error which leads me to believe that something is wrong.
 
Try this:

Go to Tools\Options\System Options\External References\ and check mark "Update component names when a documents are replaced." Also check mark "Search file locations for External references"

When in doubt, always check the help
 
Both are checked, any other ideas?
 
I can't get exclamations to appear on them, therefore I can't help.

I have the same problem and posted a similar question don't know the thread#.
Someone suggested upgrading to the sp4.0. (I use 2003 sp3.1)
I have yet to do this so I can't say if it fixes it.

But I can say that I am as frustrated and annoyed at it as you are:-)
