Can multiple sourcetypes be monitored from the same path

I know that this question has been asked quite a few times, but I have not been able to resolve this. Can I monitor multiple sourcetypes from the same path? The answer seems to be yes, but this just wont work for me.

If I specify two monitors that reference the same directory, I only get data from the second monitor stanza in my inputs.conf. I suspect there is something subtle happening here I have not picked up on. Does anyone have any suggestions? Below is an example of the inputs.conf I have been using.

[monitor:///home/bob/time_data.csv] sourcetype = DGC_TIME index=main

[monitor:///home/bob/pulse_data.csv] sourcetype = DGC_PULSE index=main
