I'm not getting growl or libnotify error messages (on either OS X or Linux, respectively) when using guard with spork.

On the OS X side of things, I'm using the spork-testunit gem, guard-minitest, guard-spork and growl_notify (I had tried the plain growl gem but the homebrew install of growlnotify didn't even work standalone, complaining of "permission denied"). I get a message when starting guard which reads "Test::Unit successfully started", but then I get no messages after that.

Any ideas? I thought this might be the guard-minitest gem's fault, but after reviewing the code, I don't think it's responsible for notifications. There was a previously created issue that I (and others) had commented on:
