I think those are slightly different scenario's.  I didn't ask the agent  
to come, I simply moved my RDF file to see if it would notice (and it  
did).  I believe that if I ask the agent to come, it does come  
immediately... though I agree that it would be a more useful behaviour if  
an explicit agent call waited until the agent had finished its task and  
returned an informative message, versus the "you have successfully  
launched the agent" message you get currently.
