ecause the client machines I run my fuse module on already has a kernel NFS=
 stack and the customer doesent want to use a user mode daemon in addition =
to that on the same machine.=0A=0ADo anyone know why this problem occurs?  =
Doesent NFS just access the local fuse mount point as a regular directory? =
 It works if that mount point were say a SAMBA mount point.  Why is it juse=
 fuse?  It infact works even if that mount point were some other kernel spa=
ce file system like a polyserve filesystem etc...=0A=0A____________________=
