Perhaps then also extend fanotify to support user watches, from the top of my 
head I can't think of a reason it would be very difficult to implement. But it 
has been a few years since I actively worked with that code.

Since you are not the only group having issues with fanotify feature set I can 
see this mini-project (together with extensions from me previous reply) being 
useful. It is also better to evolve it than neglect due a few shortcomings and 
then in a few years someone will come up with something completely new and 
then we will have yet another notification system.
