I was trying to use directory watches to recursively follow directories with over 20k files. It didn't really work; it pretty much missed changes to files really often.
I ended up writing Java code that did what I wanted completely outside of ColdFusion which was easier than I thought. If you need / want to use event gateway I would start by examining source code to directory watcher and think how to make it fit to your requirements.

It would not be practical to add one EG instance for each directory in the CFAdmin. With that many directories to watch, would it put an extreme load on the CF instance? Should I split them to multiple CF instances on the same server or that would not make a difference? How about setting a watcher on the parent dir and enabling recursion?
