  that's not normal. gamin does not use dnotify for anything under /mnt/
and I don't see why the polling method should block the mount (unless 
the stat() syscall is somewhat broken on cifs)

  There is no monitor/doesn't monitor. the browser (nautilus ?) asks 
gam to monitor the directories and resources. Then by default gam_server
should use poll and stat() to check the files under /mnt/vol1
