When autorevert detects a file on a known mount location,
`auto-revert-use-notify' is set to nil per default. See
`auto-revert-notify-exclude-dir-regexp', which uses

Perhaps, the file Dan wants to watch is mounted somewhere else. In this
case I recommend to extend that variable.
Dan, could you check whether this works for you?
This does work (tried it on emacs-25.0.95).
I prefer just setting auto-revert-use-notify to nil, however, since we'd never
be using auto-revert on locally mounted files anyways. But thanks for
mentioning the alternative.
What also works is the configuration switch that we recently discovered (and have used to
build 25.1-rc1/-rc2): "--with-file-notification=no".
I'm not sure I understand the preference for using a file notification utility
by default for auto-revert when that utility only works on locally mounted
files. I haven't worked in an environment where our storage has been locally
mounted in decades, and I've never had a reason to use auto-revert at home.
Thanks,
Dan
