Folder with parenthesis in the name can't be watched #344

I've a folder called "/Users/Javier/Backup (2015)". I can't start a watcher to this folder because inside FSWatcher._getWatchHelpers, the library globparent transform that path to "/Users/Javier".

Is this a bug? How can I watch folders with special chars like pathensis, brackets...?

Thank you!

Duplicate of #300.

Yes it's a bug, but easiest resolution for now is to just rename your dir.
