What's your ping?

Sounds like the player proximity desync issue. Check this topic: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/164323-update-161-player-proximity-desync-issue-solutionsworkarounds/

Play on the test servers and you'll be able to play with him.  Its annoying as hell i know, but until someone up top finally see's this as the problem it is we have no choice.

It actually sounds more like low bandwidth to me. How fast is your connection?

Glad I found this, Im having the exact same issue
when im at my father-in-laws, its like only one of us cann "play" at a time, if we both play on same server it will let me run smooth with everythign loading and update fine, with him not being able to see spawns, loot i drop or zombies/player. Then for no reason it will swap, he can do everything I can do nothing.

Could it be a port issue? at home i work fine (isp = sky) the issue only occurs at his house (isp = talk talk) something not getting through maybe?
