tricks.yaml location?

[bitsof...@gmail.com]

trying watchmedo tricks-from /path/to/tricks.yaml ... 

but it appears that watchmedo doesn't execute any of the tricks unless the tricks.yaml exists in the same directory the watchmedo command is launched. Why is this? Or am I missing something here.

I have a need to monitor a directory w/ custom tricks, but NOT have the tricks.yaml file live in the directory I am monitoring...
