Hum... It really makes the tutorial hard to read if all the fs::'s are replaced with boost::filesystem::. How would you feel about the tutorial giving a

using boost::filesystem;

and then eliminating the qualification entirely? I was trying to avoid that, as it isn't the best programming practice, but people are used to simplification in tutorials so maybe it is OK.

I had thought the use of a namespace alias was the better solution.

Oh:-! Well, that would clear up any confusion pretty quickly.
