Well incrond was as easy as easy gets, but didn't seem to provide the level
of control I need.

Taking your suggestion, I read that man page and setup a couple consoles
with one running this:
inotifywait -m --exclude "lost\+found" --exclude "qbdir\.dat" -e close --format "%:e %w" /mnt/Intuit_Data/*.*

And made some files, and used the client to access/edit/close a company file.
Well, qbdbfilemon polls the directory endlessly and not mention there is a
bloody myriad of close_write/close_nowrite that take place.

/me Throwing hands in the air...

Aside from a manual cron job, or explicit admin intervention each time a
company is made, I'm at a loss.

Thanks everyone!
