Great let us know if it keeps giving you trouble!

The link you gave does respond and allow permissions:

               if (metadata->fd >= 0) {

                       /* Handle open permission event */

                       if (metadata->mask & FAN_OPEN_PERM) {
                           printf("FAN_OPEN_PERM: ");

                           /* Allow file to be opened */

                           response.fd = metadata->fd;
                           response.response = FAN_ALLOW;
                           write(fd, &response,
                                 sizeof(struct fanotify_response));
                       }

That's the key bit of the example...  If you use gdb and never get to
there, you are in a bit of trouble, I agree!
