Pedro,

Did you install ltspfs in the chroot and remember to udate the image
after you did?

To check, you can either set a SCREEN_09=shell in your lts.conf and
switch to crtl-alt-f9, and at the shell, type: dpkg -l ltspfs
or, you could, on the server:  sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 dpkg -l ltspfs

It is important, though, that the runtime OS on the thin client have
ltspfs installed.  

Also, what version of ltspfs do you have there?
