Report out of watchers error from subdirectories.

[davidmorgan]

I don't see any way to add a test for this :(

I tried writing a test that creates lots of files/folders to exhaust watchers, but on my system the default is four million, it would take much too long :) ... and I think you need sudo to change the max.

So, tested manually by setting the watcher max to a number that allows initial watch but throws when a subdirectory is watched.
