Close, but not quite. The default pattern is spec/**/*_spec.rb.

> Autotest rspec2 requires spec/**/*

Again, this incorrect. Autotest fires off shell commands that include a list of 
files to load based on a set of mappings: if file x changes, run a command with 
file(s) y.

In RSpec, those mappings are defined in Autotest::Rspec2, and they are set to 
include files that end with _spec.rb, with some additional constraints based on 
file naming conventions: a change to lib/foo/bar.rb tells RSpec to include 
spec/foo/bar_spec.rb.

I'm not sure where that's coming from, but it's not default settings of rspec 
or autotest. What versions of rspec and autotest are you using? Is this a rails 
app?

Autotest has a mapping mechanism that you can access in its initialize hook. 
See http://blog.davidchelimsky.net/2008/01/15/rspec-1-1-2-and-zentest-3-8-0/ 
for more on this.
