Some *possibly* better way to fix this error message :

* What I have done :

  - boot from the latest linux kernel version installed on my system
(2.6.32-32)

* The highly probable reason why this fix the error boot message :

  - I, previously, upgraded both dmsetup + dmraid + libdmraid and linux kernel 
(to the latest version
    available for my original lucid 10.04 ubuntu install)

  - *BUT* I switched back grub to booting, by default, with original
kernel version 2.6.32-21

  => So, my conclusion, is that there was a conflict between linux kernel 
(mainly dm-raid45 module ?)
        and dmraid tools / libs, leading to unpredictable situation

* Possible fix :

  - insure to have linux kernel and dmraid tools in compatible versions
    - eg. either original fresh installed versions
    - or all ones upgrade to latest possible version suitable for your ubuntu 
distribution

* Anyway, in my situation :

  - both have fixed all error message of type "inotify_add_watch ... no such 
directory"
  - *AND* the extra boot delay (traced by dmesg / syslogd)

* My software config :

  - Ubuntu 10.04 x64
  - Linux kernel 2.6.32-21 + 2.6.32-32
  - dmraid 1.0.0-rc16-4.1
  - libdmraid 1.0.0-rc16
  - dmsetup 2:1.02.39-1ubuntu4.1

* My hardware config :

  - AMD64 opteron
  - 1 internal PATA hdd
  - 1 faked RAID-0 of 2 SATA hdds with nvidia driver
  - 1 faked RAID-0 of 2 SATA hdds with jmicron driver

* Note :

  - I don't know if those solutions and my situation are exactly matching this 
bug report,
    but, if not, I'm sure my message will be redirected to a more suitable 
others bug report.
  - I hope not, because this was the top ranked bug report when I looked for
    "inotify_add_watch ... no such directory"
