I don't remember the exact syntax, but it's something along the lines of:
window.opener.location=window.opener.location

I think you have to set a window name for the parent window in its tag. Something like: window.name="mainWin"; and then refresh it using it name. I saw this once on a remote control script but i am not sure exactly how its done.
Sorry,

irt.org has that sort of information, under javascript popup windows, and a full explanation.
I compiled their tutorials on popup windows into a free script, which you might find useful as well (the tutorials I used are linked on that page for reference as well.

Alter the body-tag of the popup like this:
<body onload="opener.location.reload();">Does this help?
