Okay, that doesn't make any sense.  I was sleepy and forgot to finish
the explanation!  Sorry.

Anyway, what happens is that “gam_server” monitors these directories for
any updates, and each time a file inside one of them is changed (due to
being copyed), “gam_server” is “awakened” (or alarmed/noted).  But
before it's finished, it's alarmed again and so on.  (Think, race
condition, but not a fatal one.)
