>TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation

While it is true that gamin uses unholy mixture of spaces and tabs for 
indentation, this does _not_ render the package unusable. The reason the 
script fails is because it uses the -tt option, which enables 
stricter-than-default indentation checks. If you remove this option from 
the script's shebang, it should start working.
