Are the files in the syscheck db (/var/ossec/queue/syscheck/something)?
Do you have alert_new_files turned on in the OSSEC server's ossec.conf?
Did you modify the rule that alerts on new files to raise the level to
something greater than 0?
Did you restart the OSSEC processes on the OSSEC server after making
these changes?
