Gamin in debian is not compiled with inotify support (as there isn't a kernel
that supports that in debian..)

The inotify version needed in gamin 0.1.5 is only there for kernels >= 2.6.13
(still to be released) afaik.
My suggestion would be to run a default debian kernel and a default
gamin.. And then file bugs against debian gamin package if needed. This way
it's possible to debug what's wrong on a vanilla debian system (or at least
what goes wrong on your system).
