Do you have global-auto-revert-mode > enabled, per chance? I do, but I've had that enabled for at least the last 6 months. I went away on vacation, re-pulled & re-built, and got the inotify errors. Relevant .emacs: '(dired-auto-revert-buffer (quote dired-directory-changed-p)) '(global-auto-revert-mode t) '(global-auto-revert-non-file-buffers t) although disabling those 3 makes no difference to the behaviour. I've double checked my emacs build was using gnotify before. It's always possible that inotify is trying to access some non-existent file, but without a filename that's hard to determine.
