well it seems to be working on my machine

NoWatchDirectory=/home/jamie/nowatch1;/home/jamie/nowatch2;/home/jamie/nowatch3;


also check top of log file to see it set no watch directories correctly:

Initialising tracker...
setting no watch directory /home/jamie/nowatch3
setting no watch directory /home/jamie/nowatch2
setting no watch directory /home/jamie/nowatch1
DB initialised - embedded mysql version is 50022

anyone else having problems with no watch in CVS?
