MacFUSE doesn't support 64-bit kernels. The problem is that 64-bit
filesystems need to be thread-safe, and MacFUSE isn't. As far as I can
tell, there hasn't been much progress upstream on the issue, though I
did see a thread from a couple days ago on the MacFUSE discussion forum
that sounded encouraging.

There are a couple supposed 64-bit MacFUSE modules floating around, but
they appear to just bypass the thread-safety check, so would not
actually be safe to use.
