And then what did you do to create these records?

What is missing? I can't tell what commands you run and what you expected to 
be output by the kernel.

What other information do you need?

Also, note that -w rules are legacy for compatibility with RHEL4 kernel. They 
are used to express simple ideas like watch this file or directory subtree. 
If you want tight control over what you are auditing, you should use the 
syscall audit format where you can express more details about what you wanted 
to trigger on. IOW, you can express that you want changes to a directory 
itself rather than the files in the directory.
