I had originally used gamin with one of my former vfs writes for mebox and had no end of problems with it. Randomly sucking up 100% cpu, crashing, that sort of thing. Maybe it's better nowadays, but I have no interest in working with gamin. INotify support is easy to do directly, which we are doing, and the code is already written. It might simplify matters when we need to do polling when inotify isn't present, but that code is already written too. So I don't see any significant benefit to using gamin and my past experiences with it make me somewhat opposed to using it at all.
