Thanks much for the suggestion.

Hmmm ... in theory that'd work.  Something about it makes me 
uncomfortable though.  Just feels like monitoring a specific count of 
files will wind up being more precise and correct than the directory mod 
time.

Anyway, I've been taking a look at the "check_file" plugin on Monitoring 
Exchange, and it looks like that might fit the bill.

Thanks,
