Generally, when you modify files on the branch directly (bypassing aufs), you should specify "udba=notify" aufs mount option. Refer to the aufs manual in detail. And more importantly, the aufs module in debian is totally broken. Last time I saw aufs in debian, they use TOO OLD version which is obsoleted and not maintained. Additionally they made their original changes. It means I cannot support aufs in debian. I'd suggest you to stop using aufs in debian, and get latest version of aufs after reading http://aufs.sf.net.
