Yes. You will need to write a VFS module to do that.
Suggest you start with Samba-3.0.1pre CVS code. Look in the directory:

~samba/sources/modules

There are a few sample modules in that directory that will give you the
idea.


 I'm looking to develop a file catalogging system for
 my file server which depends on my software being
 notified each time a file is modified or a new file
 created.

You will need to craft your own module. Please do contribute your solution
to add to the choices already there.

 This allows the modified/new file to be scanned for
 relavent information.

You need to write yourself a Samba VFS module. Start
with the sample one shipped with Samba.
