Short easy answers, mostly true, you CAN workaround some, but take as absolutely true: To build a module you must have the kernel source. If you make cloneconfig you do not clone the current kernel, so you can't make a module for it, error message above [snip] comment EITHER change the build to the current kernel name OR build a 'clone' of the current kernel, make modules_install, and boot that kernel (with its new name). 'cause the kernel is 'identical' you do not need to remake the initrd. Then build fuse. With ubuntu you can install kernel-headers, you don't need to build the kernel, but I have never made the -obj stuff work like that with SuSE. So: To build fuse you need the kernel source of the running kernel. The modules will then work under that running kernel.
