I followed these instructions http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/MountableHDFS
and was able to get things working with 0.19.0 on Fedora. The only problem I ran into was the AMD64 issue on one of my boxes (see the note on the above link); I edited the Makefile and set OSARCH as suggested but couldn't get things working on my AMD box. Aside from that, are you certain that vi is a supported command with Fuse-DFS? It is not listed in the commands on the above link. I'd first see if you can get things working with one of the commands they mention (e.g., cp, ls, more, cat, find, less, rm, mkdir, mv, rmdir).
