sass doesn't create css files

Question

In my terminal i run the command "sass --watch sass:styles" to create the css files as i save a .scss i worked on. Sass always detects that changes are made, i get lines like

>>> Change detected to: 
/sass/_styles.scss

Normally it then gives a line like

overwrite styles/screen.css

But doesn't always do that, i stops at the change detected. I have to save the file several (10-15) times before he gets to the overwrite part.

I recently changed from a Ubuntu to a CentOS server and since then the problem got a lot persistent. On the Ubuntu this came up every once and a while but on the new server it happens with every file, every time i save.

I installed ruby 1.9.2 on the CentOS. And i login on the server with sftp to edit the files.

Just to be absolutely completely clear and forgive me for clarifying. Are you running sass --watch on your local machine or the server? If you're editing the files via sftp and watching for changes locally... — maxbeatty

Ran it as root, now it works. Even tried chmod'ing and chown'ing the directories of stylesheets recursively. That didn't work. — KeatsKelleher

You simply have to remove the "_" from the _styles.scss. SASS will not create a corresponding css file if a filename start with _. This is usefull for partials.
