ext3 via nfs, I dont think that I did anything that overly touched
/home/mark during the original log and have made nautilus poke around
in there a bit to get some better info on /home/mark see
http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/markcare/linux/gamin/2/new-gam-client-debug.log
and http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/markcare/linux/gamin/2/new-gam-server-test.log
if that helps any.

Correct, and with inofity backend enabled I dont have any file
alteration monitoring working in both DEBUG and non-DEBUG mode. The
dnotify backend works.

Ok I am open to trying anything you sugest to provide any information
to help corner the bug.

The only FAM clients that I am running are gnome-vfs-2.12.1.1 and
nautilus-2.12.1 as part of Gnome 2.12.1 (GARNOME)

$ cat /etc/mtab

Hope this helps, let us know if you need anything more.
