test.scss not updating on a Mac

I put my files in a folder and named the folder called sass-test. I set sass to watch the folder. I used the code sass --watch sass-test. I make a change in the scss file but the css file will not change and I can see in the terminal that nothing happens. I quit watching the folder and watch the file and then it updates and you can see it working in the terminal.

Why won't it watch the folder?

I think the correct syntax to watch a folder is:

sass --watch sass:sass-test

that would specifically watch for sass files in the sass-test folder....if memory servers, its been awhile since I have used command line :)

let me know!
