Also note that you are guaranteed to at some event it the file you are
watching changes, but you may get one notification for several changes.
The general pattern of your code should be:
getChildren, set watch
process initial set of children
...
receive notification of change
getChildren, set watch again
process changes
...
receive notification of change
getChildren, set watch again
process changes
As Ben pointed out, you need to check for all changes each time you receive
a notification because multiple changes may have happened by the time you
receive a notice. You also need to reset the in the call to getChildren,
not after you have processed the data.
