This->pidlRoot is the ITEMIDLIST of all SHITEMIDs starting from the root of 
the shell namespace up to the current folder. If you take a look into 
SHELL32_GetItemAttributes, it calls _ILIsDrive, _ILGetGUIDPointer and the 
like on the pidl. Those function inspect the first SHITEMID in the ITEMIDLIST 
only (see pidl.c). This means they will inspect the SHITEMID which represents 
the drive, which the ITEMIDLIST ist based on. 

What you really need to do is to call SHBindToParent. This will give you a 
pointer to the current folders parent folder as well as the last SHITEMID of 
the ITEMIDLIST. Call SHELL32_GetItemAttributes with the parent folder and 
this last SHITEMID.

As to the caching of the file attributes: Those are already cached in the 
SHITEMID (see _ILGetFileAttributes in pidl.c). So you are adding a redundant 
level of caching and thus unnecessary complexity. IMHO it would be better to 
remove the IGenericFSImpl's dwAttributes member and just call 
SHELL32_GetItemAttributes.

Bye,
