Won't be able to use kpm on react-native/at fb yet

So, as I suspected, you are using symlinks for generating all those node_modules. Unfortunately, watchman doesn't support symlinks. This has been a longstanding issue (can't use npm link) and we need to figure out a solution with the watchman team.

Why does watchman need to watch the dependencies?

Just had a talk with @shayne. This is likely because the RNP uses watchman to get fast file lookup for dependency resolution. We can likely bypass watchman all together and offer something even faster via kpm if this is the only use.
