I'm glad to hear that it helped, it took me a little sleuthing to find
the problem when I went to 10.5 from 10.4.

Just for anyone coming across this thread I'll explain the problem and
why it's a little difficult to understand what happens.

In 10.4.x the fusefs.fs directory is located in /System/Library/
Filesystems/

For 10.5.x the fusefs.fs directory should be in /Library/Filesystems/

A 10.4 install of MacFuse creates a symlink (fusefs.fs) in /Library/
Filesystems/ pointing to /System/Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs

Looking at the 10.4 uninstaller script (I still have a 10.4 system on
an external drive) I don't see where the uninstaller ever attempts to
remove that symlink.

This means that a new install of MacFuse for 10.5 under 10.5 is
“fooled” by the symlink. I'm not quite sure what goes wrong, where and
when but it is misdirected to the old location of fusefs.fs.

Here's the directory listing of  /Library/Filesystems/ under 10.4

drwxrwxr-t@ 68 username  username  2312 Dec  9 07:36 ..
drwxrwxr-x@  3 username  username   102 Apr 25  2005 AppleShare
lrwxr-xr-x   1 username  username    38 Sep  9 06:45 fusefs.fs -> /
System//Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs

It's that symlink which causes the problem and removing it allows the
MacFuse installer for 10.5 to create the real fusefs.fs directory
where it belongs.
