that's definitely it. gmailfs simply doesn't work with the new
fuse-python bindings. Funny thing is that I can't find the old sources
of fuse-python on sourceforge...

from source????? Hey, I'm using a _binary_ distribution, ever heard of
it? :)

ok, I did it (despite the above) and basically the new fuse-python seems
to be incompatible even with that environment trick.
Actually I only tried gmailfs as I don't have a flickr account and I'm
too lazy to get one, but I wouldn't expect exciting news if I had.
With the old bindings gmailfs works.
