Through system calls. inotify on linux, winapi on windows, otherwise it takes a snapshot of a folders 'modified' timestamp every second or so and compare.

Cool addon idea, but after installed it, XBMC refuses to close. Stuck on this log message:

18:49:22 T:2232 NOTICE: WATCHDOG: BaseObserver.on_thread_exit()

I can't speak for the windows part, but on ubuntu when using iotop and dstat to monitor the activity on my SSD and RAID, I don't see any activity.

This is correct. It's event based so it won't do anything until you write something to the disk.
