Hi,

I can't reproduce that with debian testing and aide version 0.14.

A new file evil in the directory /tmp/... is reported as expected:

---------------------------------------------------
Added files:
---------------------------------------------------

f+++++++++++++++: /tmp/.../evil

---------------------------------------------------
Changed files:
---------------------------------------------------

d >.... mc.. .. : /tmp/...

Greetings,

Hannes
