MacFUSE itself wouldn't look for such a file, it's just a file system
bridge that acts on external requests.
Mac OS X itself is likely to look for the file though, as it contains
Mac OS X version information (you can see for yourself: 'cat
/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist').
My guess is that when the new file system is mounted, Mac OS X checks if
it contains another Mac OS X installation so that it can treat it
properly in the Finder or something. I'm sure there's a reason.

I'm writing a FUSE filesystem and I have logmsgs set on every FUSE
callback. I was surprised to see this when I mounted my filesystem
(called netfs):

Why would MacFuse try to access /System/Library/CoreServices/
SystemVersion.plist *via* the filesystem that it is mounting? Why
would it even think that such a file might exist? What would it do
with the file if it found it?
Thanks,
