Colin,
This is the second time I've replied to this, so I'll be brief.
A filesystem can implement inotify most of the time, while still being unable to implement it all of the time. A good example is a filesystem where inotify is disabled, or unable to be implemented, when flock is in use.
Applications should be able to handle this situation effectively.
