Description
When using the Friend accept request, there is a timing discrepancy with New "Friends" and "Wall" Portlet.

Timing problem between nodes causing asynchronous results. B-Node taking 7-10 minutes to reflect Friend request. (and perhaps other non-identified processes)

ENVIRONMENT:

Two clustered servers (A-Node, B-Node)
Two test users (User-A, User-B)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1) Log User-A into A-Node.
2) Log User-B into B-Node.
2) User-A/A-Node - Request to be friends with User-B
3) User-B/B-Node - Accept User-A's friend request
4) User-A/A-Node - Navigate to User-B's wall. Notice message saying that you need to be friends with User-B to see/write on their wall.
5) Wait 10 minutes or so and refresh. At this point, the wall will work correctly.
