Subject: Did anyone get DirectoryWatch working?

Hi.
I placed the following codes at the bottom of the file DirectoryWatch.rb 
and ran it from my command line in WindowsXp. Nothing seems to be 
happening even when I change/add/modify files. What am I missing? Thanks.

device_manager = Dir::DirectoryWatcher.new( 'c:/temp', 2 )
device_manager.name_regexp = /^[^.].*\.rb$/

device_manager.on_add = Proc.new{ |the_file, stats_hash|
puts "Hey, just found #{the_file.inspect}!"
        # Store something custom
        stats_hash[:blorgle] = the_file.foo
     }

     device_manager.on_modify = Proc.new{ |the_file, stats_hash|
        puts "Hey, #{the_file.inspect} just changed."
     }

     device_manager.on_remove = Proc.new{ |stats_hash|
        puts "Whoa, the following file just disappeared:"
        stats_hash.each_pair{ |k,v|
           puts "#{k} : #{v}"
        }
    }


     device_manager.start_watching()
