Full error message, please. Should look like
qemu-system-x86_64: -device foo: Parameter 'driver' expects device type

"-fsdev fsdriver" looks wrong. RTFM yields:
-fsdev
fsdriver,id=id,path=path,[security_model=security_model][,writeout=writeout][,readonly][,socket=socket|sock_fd=sock_fd]
Define a new file system device. Valid options are:
fsdriver
This option specifies the fs driver backend to use. Currently
"local", "handle" and "proxy" file system drivers are
supported.
