Sass won't update unless canceled

I'm working on a small project and am using Sass. Recently though, I notice it will not update my file unless I hit ctrl+c to stop then run sass --watch . to watch the file again.

After doing some searching I updated all my gems and it's still the same problem. I'm at a lost as to what to do next. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

I'm running sass v. 3.3.8 on Mac v. 10.9.3 if that helps.

When you're inside of the folder with the .scss files, try typing it in like this:

$ sass --watch .:.

Just so you know, the first period in that statement is telling sass to watch all scss files under the current directory, and the second period is telling sass to save the compiled css files to the same folder they exist in.
