Getting this in digest mode means someone has already likely responded, but presuming you don't care about anything older than 10.3 the standard solution is to use kqueues, for which list participant Uli Kusterer has a nice Objective-C wrapper:

By the way, this also contains FNNotify code, though that doesn't work on some OS versions, and isn't as reliable as kqueue. FNNotify relies on other apps correctly sending out notifications for file changes they do, which sadly only few apps do. Oh, and kqueue and FNNotify only work locally, not over the network.
