Unfortunately, this is not the case.  The only change I can make to ganimrc that
alters the output is if I add something like:

poll /usr*

In which case, /usr will be listed as excluded before the "Updated list of
mounted filesystems" line.

I can change the seconds between polling in the fsset line, by either leaving it
out entirely or specifying a number of seconds.  The only difference in adding
seconds is that gam_server will not begin endless activity until the number of
seconds specified expired.

In any case, I've resolved my issues by using notify to make gamin use kernel
notification on my samba share.  (It was mounted in the /mnt tree, so was being
defaulted to poll)
