Please don't top-post: <http://www.boost.org/community/policy.html#quoting>

A typedef is sort of like giving the type an alias you can use later. If 
you want to instantiate the type you need to do something like:

   FolderMonitoringService folder_service;

   boost::asio::dir_monitor dm(folder_service);
   ...
   ...

   folder_service.run();

The following slides and video from BoostCon'10 might be helpful if you 
are just starting with ASIO.
