Sorry, Gamin is in the first place completly useless in my case. Futher I've tried to contact the developer of gamin, but no response at all, from different addresses. And also with other fs's like cifs (and I think nfs as well), what I try to achieve is that the fs self is responsible for the handling of the inotify request. How to do this? First possible via VFS, clients will set a watch on (mounted) fs directly, VFS handles this call and forwards it to the mounted fs. I write here forward, I mean sends a signal to the mounted fs about a notify watch being set on a inode. After that (and being successfull) the VFS opens a fd the mounted fs can send events to when something happens on the inode (what is significant). Next via a daemon like Gamin. Yes, possible, but is this smart? Isn't it just possible through the VFS like above described.
