"sass --watch ." command not working as expected (Mac OS)

I am trying to follow along with the "Installing and Using Sass" video in the Sass Deep Dive (in the Getting Started with Sass section), but when I run the terminal command sass --watch ., I am getting a response that is different from Hampton's: my console responds

">>> Sass is watching for changes. Press Ctrl-C to stop.
      write ./test.css"

while his responds,

">>> Sass is watching for changes. Press Ctrl-C to stop.
      overwrite ./test.css".

Also, my test.css that is created as a result of this command is not being affected by the changes that I am making and saving in my test.scss file (even after I click into the test.css window to refresh it).

Help Please?

Try installing sudo gem install rb-fsevent
