You didn't set up anything wrong, the case just doesn't work for 
finding changes on the server.  Files created locally should trigger 
inotify events through the VFS, but tracking changes made on the server 
is more difficult.  Notifications are part of the NFS v4.1 protocol, 
but I don't think anything has been implemented right now.

Maybe something in userland like gamin could help?
