I was having this same problem. The issue is with the FUSE python bindings. You must force FUSE python bindings to enforce compatibility. This is done by

Code:

export FUSE_PYTHON_COMPAT=0.1

You need to get the kernel source for your distro. Check to see if you have it allready by going to /usr/src and seeing if there is a kernel version that matches the output of 'uname -r'. Once you have the source, you can compile your kernel. There are many guides on how to do this, I suggest you read one of them. Feel free to ask if you still a bit confused after reading it.

Hi guys! I'm just wondering. Could this be done on cygwin? Thanks..

As long as the kernel used by cgywin supports fuse file systems, and has a working python install, then yes. But it will probably take a little tinkering. But hell, that's most of the fun anyways.

where do I get python-fuse if I am behind a HTTP proxy and can't use CVS? I download fuse (the file .tar.gz) from its sourceforge download page but that doesn't have python-fuse in it. Any ideas?
Thanks
