riot compiler not watching the right directory when started from flask

[drorhilman]

Help us to manage our issues by answering the following:

1. Describe your issue:
   I am running the following command from within python flask...

if __name__ == "__main__":
    from subprocess import Popen
    Popen('riot -w --template jade ../tags tags.js', shell=True)
    app.run(debug=True, threaded=True, host='0.0.0.0')

(the relevant command) = riot -w --template jade ../tags tags.js
Now, the tags.js is compiled fine , but it watch the directory ../tags/*/.tag - and the watch do not respond to any changes in the .tag files!

1. Can you reproduce the issue?
   This issue is related to the server not the js.
2. browser: chrome (nor relevant...) OS: Ubuntu. node: 4.4.5, npm: 2.15.5
3. Which version of Riot does it affect? riot-compiler: 2.3.23
4. Bug ?

I figured out some new behavior:
I am running the server and the riot-compiler on a linux machine, and the .tag files
are on a shared mounted disk between the linux and windows machine.
Now, when I am editing and saving the files FROM WINDOWS - then the watching is not working.
However, when I am editing the files on the LINUX machine, it work fine.

Why can't riot-compiler listen to file change when it works from windows? Is there a way to fix this behavior (and do the development on windows)
