I think changes should be noticed by fam if they originate on the local
host & you've got imon support.  Changes originating on the server, or on
other clients, won't be noticed by fam unless it's polling the SMB
filesystem.  Fam has stuff built in for nfs where it will try to talk to
fam on the nfs server, and get updates without having to poll the NFS
filesystem, but I don't think it does anything similar for Samba.  (I
don't really know anything about Samba; if it's similar enough to NFS, it
might "just work" the same way, but I'd be really surprised.)
