In this case it's happening when split-diff is trying to create the first of two temp files.

  _createTempFiles: (editors) ->
    editor1Path = ''
    editor2Path = ''
    tempFolderPath = atom.getConfigDirPath() + '/split-diff'

    editor1Path = tempFolderPath + '/split-diff 1'
    editor1TempFile = new File(editor1Path)
    editor1TempFile.writeSync(editors.editor1.getText())

    editor2Path = tempFolderPath + '/split-diff 2'
    editor2TempFile = new File(editor2Path)
    editor2TempFile.writeSync(editors.editor2.getText())

Can you check your atom.getConfigDirPath() for permissions that may be preventing atoms built-in "File" class from setting up a watcher?

The only way I know to see where getConfigDirPath() is, is to run the command atom.getConfigDirPath() in the debugger console. On OSX for me it returns, "/Users/bwilkerson/.atom"
