Is that file specification a directory or a regular filename? Do you own the file?
-r recurses a directory tree
-f means don't ask 'ok Y/N' or complain about missing files
The error message would help a lot....

inoticoming
INOTICOMING(1) INOTICOMING INOTICOMING(1)
NAME
inoticoming - trigger actions when files hit an incoming directory
SYNOPSIS
inoticoming [ global-options ] directory actions*
DESCRIPTION
Inoticoming is a daemon to watch a directory with Linux's inotify framework and trigger actions once files with specific names are placed
in there.
For example it can be used to wait for .changes files uploaded into a directory and call reprepro to put them into your repository.
GLOBAL OPTIONS
--foreground
Do not fork, but stay in the foreground and log to stderr.
--logfile filename
After forking in the background, log to the specified filename instead of syslog.
--pid-file filename
Write the pid of the running instance into filename.
--initialsearch
First search the directory for files already existing and process them with the given rules as if they just appeared. If files show
up in this inital phase, they may be processed twice, but should never be missed. (Unless they are too many and the inotify queue
overflows).
ACTIONS
Each action description is an optional list of options for this action (which files to call it for, what directory to change into before
executing it, ...), followed by the command and its arguments ended with a single ; as argument. Like:
inoticoming --foreground / --regexp ^v echo There appeared {} in the root directory. ; (Note that the before the ; is needed if and only
if you calling it from a shell or anything else interpreting the ; on its own).
ACTION OPTIONS
--prefix string
Only trigger this action, if the filename starts with the specified string.
--suffix string
Only trigger this action, if the filename ends with the specified string.
--regexp regular expression
Only trigger this action, if the filename matches the specified regular expression.
--chdir directory
Change into directory before executing the specified commands. (Note that since it is a well-behaved daemon, its working directory
is / which will be inherited by all actions).
--stdout-to-log
Redirect the command's output (stdout) to the logfile.
--stderr-to-log
Redirect the command's error output (stderr) to the logfile.
EXAMPLES
inoticoming --logfile logs/ilog --pid-file pid $INCOMINGDIR --suffix .changes --stderr-to-log reprepro -s -b $REPREPROBASEDIR --waitforlock
1000 processincoming rulename {} ;
This will call reprepro for every new .changes file. Note that giving {} as argument to processincoming (which inoticoming will
replace with the filename) so that only that .changes file is processed and reprepro will not complain about a possible other yet
incomplete .changes file is only available starting with reprepro version 2.2.2.
PROBLEMS
There is no handling of queue overflows yet.
