This is not really true:

  1) You can create filesystem with perfect UNIX sematics, _if_ files
     cannot be modified from the outside.  Note: most non-network
     filesystems are of this variety.

  2) You can use the raw kernel interface of FUSE, or wait until the
     inode based library interface is ready.  There are contributions
     in this area that you can reuse, just search the list archives.
