I didn't even know FAM supported dnotify.  Is code for this in the official 
releases, or is there just a patch available?  The gist of the webpage 
seems to be that IMON and polling are viable options but that hacking 
dnotify support into FAM can't happen without breaking interfaces and/or 
introducing a few more-or-less unfixable bugs.  Have things changed?
