For that you want status change notifications. You've registerted just a
simple read() notification a la select(), which will trigger until you've
read the entire file then stop. You might find this more interesting if
you point it at a named pipe then use something to stuff data down it.
Take a look at the EVFILT_VNODE type in the kqueue(2) manpage.
