Another thing the OP can check is the version of gamin that he is 
currently using.  IIRC, the current version is having some problems,  I 
am not sure off-hand but a quick check of the archives on gamin would 
help.  I would also wonder if this was the case would upgrading gamin to 
rawhide would help
