The only thing I can think of from what you wrote above is maybe you 
missed running ldconfig after installing FUSE.

I couldn't get the 2.1.0 version from Sourceforge to compile, seems a 
makefile template is missing, or I goofed something while unpacking it.

I was able to get the CVS version compiled on my Slackware 10.0 system 
by doing the following:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/owfs co owfs
cd owfs
./bootstrap
./configure --disable-owperl --disable-owpython
make
make install

Unfortunately, the only other thing I can recommend is to join the OWFS 
developer list and ask there.

Hope I was of some help,
