Not working with grunt-includes

[mbrammer]

grunt-newer doesn't work with grunt-includes.
Here is my grunt-includes config:

includes: {
    js: {
        options: {
            duplicates: false
        },
        files: [{
            cwd: '<%= pkg.jsAppDir %><%= pkg.theme %>',
            src: 'watchdir/**/*.js',
            dest: '<%= pkg.jsAppDir %><%= pkg.theme %>/.generated/',
        }],
    },
}

If I run grunt newer:includes:js I get an Warning: ENOENT, stat 'watchdir/file1.js' Use --force to continue.. So the file seems not to exist for him, but it does.
If I run in verbose mode I can see the file list.

Files: watchdir/file1.js, watchdir/file2.js, watchdir/file3.js -> app/frontend/js/themes/default/.generated/
