Hi,

Only registered processes are allowed to open/close files. Since your 
scanner is not registered with Dazuko, its access is also being acknowledged 
by Dazuko.

Here is the sequence of events that are occuring:

1. registered process receives access event
2. registered process sends event over socket to non-registered process
3. non-registered process opens file for scanning
4. Dazuko detects file access from non-registered process
5. Dazuko sends access event to registered process
6. goto step 1

Summary: The non-registered scanner process never is allowed to open the 
file and an infinite "chicken/egg" loop is created.

Currently the only solution is for your scanning processes to register with 
Dazuko. If they register, they also have to be prepared to get/return access 
events. Using groups, you can have multiple registered processes working 
together.

I am working on a idea to allow non-registered processes to be specified as 
trusted. This would allow your scenario to work. I haven't quite worked out 
all the details for my proposal yet. Hopefully something like this will be 
available for the 2.1.0 release (planned for February).
