I recently installed sshfs on this etch system using aptitude install sshfs. I am having the same problem you listed above. However, I can't seem to find /dev/fuse.

amit@debian:~$ ls -l /dev/fuse
ls: /dev/fuse: No such file or directory

Even a sudo modprobe fuse doesn't result in anything.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Amit
