I tried that too. Seems not to work (at least for me):

root@mobil:/tmp/inotify-utils-0.25 # mount /dev/hda6 /mnt
root@mobil:/tmp/inotify-utils-0.25 # ls /mnt/foo/bar
/mnt/foo/bar
root@mobil:/tmp/inotify-utils-0.25 # ./inotify_test /mnt/foo/bar &
inotify device fd = 3
/mnt/foo/bar WD=1
[1] 8454
root@mobil:/tmp/inotify-utils-0.25 # umount /dev/hda6
read = 32
sizeof inotify_event = 16
pevent->len = 0
pevent->len = 0
EVENT ON WD=1
DELETE_SELF (file) 0x00000400

EVENT ON WD=1
IGNORED (file) 0x00008000

root@mobil:/tmp/inotify-utils-0.25 #
