MinimWatch & Server on Qnap

I installed the server on my Qnap 419P+ and it runs well.
But I have a problem, which I don't understand.

MinimWatch won't work, when started from disc. When I start it out of the dmg, it needs some time (about three or four minutes), but mostly (not always) connects to the server.
Since my music library is work in progress (editing the tags, deleting doubles, adding new music, etc), I have to restart the server a few times to get it re-read the library.

Can I do something to a) to accelerate proceedings and b) get it work from the applications directory?

And are there plans to make the server able to observe directories by itself?

EDIT:
I deactivated the firewall. And: It works. - So although the firewall asks, if I want to allow incoming traffic for this app (MinimWatch), it doesn't seem to work? What do I have to write in my firewall to allow this?
My hard and software:
Lion 10.7.3
Qnap 419P+, Firmware 3.6.1 0302T
Jre 7

Thanks for any advice!

I'm aware of the firewall problem. To solve this, I need to sign the application with a digital certificate. This is on my list of things to investigate for the next release.

I've had other requests for the server to observe changes to directories without needing to be restarted. It's not easy to do this because of the way that MinimServer is designed and implemented. I'd like to add this at some stage, but it would need quite a lot of work and I don't think I'll be able to do this in the near future.

MinimServer and MinimWatch should work when launched either from the dmg file or from the applications directory.
