[linux-cifs-client] using inotify with CIFS mounts - possible?

Is it somehow possible to use inotify with CIFS mounts (mount.cifs to a 
Windows 2003 server), to monitor when new files are created?

With mount.cifs from Samba 3.3.2, I tried to use inotifywait (while 
creating new files on Windows), but it didn't show anything.

If it's not possible, are there any alternatives to achieve such a thing 
from Linux?
