Just to add the solution to the archive:
1) Of course Scott is right that /dev/fuse must exist.
I was doing an ls -l /dev/fuse as a regular, non-fuse group user so
(of course) couldn't see the file. The /dev/fuse exists on all the
working systems
2) I was using a custom 2.6.16 kernel under Debian Sarge. The Debian
Sarge fuse source does not compile cleanly due to a change in i_sem in
the 2.6.16 kernel.
I'm not sure why compiling the fuse module as part of the kernel
didn't work.
Falling back to an older kernel solved the problem, the Debian fuse
module compiled cleanly and there was joy all around.
Thank you Scott for the help.
