Ok. First things first. Better move "vfs objects" parameter from [global] 
section to those share
sections where it is required. This will help you avoid problems in future when 
you add non-
glusterfs shares(and you forget adding empty "vfs objects" line).

Hm.. we will take that up later.

We can look into issue with vfs_fruit + FUSE mount + disperse 
volume(interesting though..) after we
finish debugging the current problem.

Base on your explanation I would repeat my previous request to remove [IPC$] 
and follow what I
suggested above on moving "vfs objects" to individual shares.

Isn't shares [share1] and [module] same?
