recursion doesn't work with inotify and nested directories in daemon mode

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. mkdir -p /blah/blah/blah
2. ppss -d /blah -c 'echo ' --daemon 
3. touch a file in /blah [success]
4. touch a file in /blah/blah [failure]
5. touch a file in /blah/blah/blah [failure]

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

inotify doesn't notify ppss that a new file is in the directory

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

ppss-2.85-2
inotify-tools-3.14
CentOS release 5.5

Please provide any additional information below.

looks like the '-r' flag is missing from the invocation of inotifywait.

seems to work fine when not in daemon mode

this is a dumb fix, probably needs to honor the --no-recursion flag.
