Issue with symlinks

[pitosalas]

I am not the first to report that this is tripping me up and so I don't think there's a solution other than changing my directory structure which for various reasons I am limited from doing. But here's the situation:

prog/
  dir1/
    dir11/
       file111
       file113
    dir12/
       ...
     dir13/
        ...
     symlink1 -> libdir2
     symlink2 -> lib
  file1
  file2

lib/
  libdir1/
    filelib1
  libdir2/
    filelib2

Ok so I want to execute a shell command (the same one) when any of these files change:

1. Any file in dir1 (and I don't want to enumerate each of the dir1x's because there are a lot and they change)
2. Any file in lib (and again I don't want to enumerate the libdirx's because there are a lot and they change.
3. prog/file1

Since symlink1 is a directory contained in symlink2 I get the famous error

Here's the Guardfile:

guard :shell do
  clearing :on
  directories %w( . /mydev/cg-topics                  )
  watch(%r{(Rules)|(.erb)|(.rb)|(.css)}) { `cg compile` }
end

And here's the actual directory structure (which is more complicated)
