There's also the BSD kqueue mechanism, You could use this to watch the parent folder, and once you find your file hasn't changed in a while, assume it's done and just try using it.
I have a bunch of file watching classes (for FSEvents, FNNotify and KQueue) at http://www.github.com/uliwitness/UliKit
