Tested your application:

File: z:\core Deleted
File: z:\mput\file00000168.exe Deleted
File: z:\screenshot.png Created
File: z:\screenshot.png Changed
File: z:\screenshot.png Deleted
File: z:\screenshot.png Created
File: z:\screenshot.png Changed
File: z:\screenshot.png Changed
File: z:\screenshot.png Changed
File: z:\screenshot.png Changed
File: z:\screenshot.png Changed
File: z:\screenshot.png Changed
File: z:\screenshot.png Changed
File: z:\screenshot1.png Created
File: z:\changenotifylog.txt Created
File: z:\changenotifylog.txt Changed
File: z:\changenotifylog.txt Deleted
File: z:\changenotifylog.txt Created
File: z:\changenotifylog.txt Changed
File: z:\changenotifylog.txt Changed
File: z:\changenotifylog.txt Changed
File: z:\changenotifylog.txt Changed
File: z:\samba_win.out renamed to z:\1.out
File: z:\1.out Changed

The last action was triggered by:

vlendec at delphin:/data/tmp$ mv samba_win.out 1.out
vlendec at delphin:/data/tmp$ 

What I do not get is unix-triggered events from
subdirectories, but this is expected. Inotify is not
recursive, and Samba does not open file handles for all
subdirectories. What I do get is notifies from renames in
subdirectories triggered by other CIFS clients.

This is with current master by the way, but there have not
been any relevant changes since 3.5.6.

What am I doing differently?

With best regards,
