You may need/want to add the 'fuse-utils', as well.

You then need to load the kernel module:

	modprobe fuse

This is (I believe, based on searching in /lib/modules) part of the 
kernel package, so it doesn't need to be installed, but you do need to 
load it, and make arrangements for it to be loaded on each boot.  Edit 
the file '/etc/modules' and add the word 'fuse' on a line by itself, at 
the end.

Of course, the modprobe and edit must be done as root ;)
