This is good news.
I am very interested in following this up as it sounds just what I
need. Can you give me some more specific pointers? The asynchronous
file system monitoring sounds really good.
Thanks in advance

Can anyone give me any pointers? I think I should use boost asio but I don't know where to start with it. The tutorial and examples, while good haven't provided me with an insight yet!
I would think a combination of Boost.Asio and Boost.FileSystem would do the job for you. Plus there's been some prototype (and maybe some production ready) code that does asynchronous file system monitoring (as provided by OS level facilities) floating around on the Asio mailing list. This could replace your periodic "directory poll", making it that much more efficient (if that matters).
Read up on both of the above libraries and ask questions as appropriate.
