That is the userland part of fuse.  There is also a kernel module that 
you will need to get and install.  I'm guessing you have yum since this 
appears to be a RHEL 5 machine so try a 'yum search fuse' to see if you 
can find the name of the kernel module.  It escapes me at the moment, 
which is why I suggest the yum search.
