When I run

coffee -w -c *.coffee

I get

/home/shreyas/local/lib/node_modules/coffee-script/lib/coffee-script/command.js:227
if (e.code !== 'ENOENT') throw e;
^
Error: watch Unknown system errno 28
at errnoException (fs.js:605:11)
at FSWatcher.start (fs.js:632:11)

at Object.oncomplete (/home/shreyas/local/lib/node_modules/coffee-script/lib/coffee-script/command.js:106:25)

The folder I'm running the command just has 3 coffee files. Running the command against just one file results in the same error. I did have a look at https://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script/issues/1537 but that didn't help.

I'm running CoffeeScript - 1.2.0 & Node 0.6.1 on Linux.
