FAIL: tail-2/inotify-hash-abuse2 (exit: 1)

tail: `f' has become inaccessible: No such file or directory

As far as I read the test, there will always be a race where f could be
temporarily unavailable between the mv and the touch.
I forget what it's supposed to be testing for, but to close that race, I
think

touch g
mv g f

would be better, no?

That's what we're explicitly trying to trigger.
`tail` should not exit in this case as -F is specified (--retry)

cheers,
Pádraig.
