The docs for the watch function in the fs module contain this:

"*Warning:* Providing filename argument in the callback is not
supported on every platform (currently it's only supported on Linux
and Windows). Even on supported platforms filename is not always
guaranteed to be provided. Therefore, don't assume that filename
argument is always provided in the callback, and have some fallback
logic if it is null."

Is there a fundamental problem with Mac OS X that will prevent this
from ever working there or is there hope that this will be fixed
eventually?

It's seems like the primary reason to use this function is to watch
for changes in a directory. If the name of files that are changed
can't be determined then it's hard to see how this function is useful.
