GIven that you are on NT/2k, a Google group search showed up a thread, where
Darrell postet this link:

http://www.dorb.com/darrell/win32WorkSvr/makeThumbsDG.py

in response to Jeff's question on how to use
win32file.FindFirstChangeNotification().

Maybe, this is what you are looking for.

Cheers
Franz

P.S.: The thread's contents are:

I'd like my python program to know when
directories and files have changed on
an NT system.

Could anyone share an example of how to use
win32file.FindFirstChangeNotification()
and its relatives?

Thanks.
