Well, MacFuse is probably a completely new kind of thing that you have never 
encountered, which is the reason I asked what you think it is and why you are 
interested in using it.

Have you read the FAQ?

http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/wiki/FAQ

Pay particular attention to Q 1.3

I doubt that ;-)  You may think you understand it, but if you don't know what a 
precompiled binary is then you are missing some pretty basic stuff.

You're not supposed to see anything.  MacFuse is not an application.  It's a 
system extension.  And it doesn't do anything by itself.

Here are some pointers to articles that will explain what MacFuse is and what 
it does.  Read them in order:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_system

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace

and of course:
