No, you do the right thing and in fact this is supposed to work.

However, all these nifty features rely on gamin which in turn relies
on the kernel feature "inotify" which is currently broken
unfortunately.

The problem is known and Fabio does hard work to make it work again,
so this should only be a matter of time (hopefully...).
