You're welcome. I hope AVFS will have the FUSE thing in their next
official release so users don't need to go fetch it on CVS...

I would like to add:

Note that avfsd can be started multiple times if the user logs out and
then back in, that's why I use this script in my ROX-Session AutoStart
folder which checks if it's already mounted first:

#!/bin/sh
exec 1>&2
MntDir=${HOME}/.avfs
grep -q "avfsd ${MntDir}" /proc/mounts || {
   echo Mounting AVFS on $MntDir...
   unset LD_PRELOAD
   avfsd $MntDir
}

NOTE: As you see, I unset LD_PRELOAD before I start avfsd. The reason
for this is that I have had trouble with libtrash running with the avfs
fuse daemon! So I think this is a good thing to do if you're using
libtrash...

BTW, maybe there should be an AutoStop folder too? Then one could
"fusermount -u ~/.avfs-mount" automagically at logout.
