Did you have any trouble editing /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches?

I tried:
gksudo gedit /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches

And it told me "Unexpected error: Error writing to file: Invalid argument"

Funnily enough when I re-ran:
gksudo gedit /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches

The value had changed to 32000. But I couldn't make a backup copy of the file either via gedit, nautilus, or even the terminal. According to sudo nautilus the File Properties windows has the file size as 0 bytes.
