With coreutils 8.x (8.0 through 8.4) using installwatch to track files breaks on symlinks. See http://bugs.sourcemage.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15559 for more details. Reverting to coreutils 7.6 allows installwatch to again track symlinks.
Reading through that bug report and the homepage of CheckInstall it appears the breakage was caused by not supporting the various *at syscalls which coreutils now uses, and that a fixed version was released on 2009-12-26. Does this new version work for you?
