Yes, thanks. Unfortunately the ftpfs translator does not generate any
output, as far as I can see. It would be nice if someone would add a
--verbose option or so, that makes it display all the traffic between
itself and the ftp server.
On my other computer running Debian woody I've set up a wu-ftpd for
testing. But, again unfortunately, this works flawlessly, while any
attempts to set up a translator for an ftp server outside of my house
fail reproducibly.
I've also played around with the nfs translator a little more. The
result is, that it fails reproducibly unless I add 'insecure' to the
option list in /etc/exports. With 'insecure' it works nicely.

Yes, sure. This is what happens when I try to build the latest Hurd
sources available in Debian (after satisfying all build-depends):
dpkg-buildpackage: source package is hurd
dpkg-buildpackage: source version is 20021118-1
dpkg-buildpackage: source maintainer is Marcus Brinkmann <brinkmd@debian.org>
dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture is hurd-i386

I've today grabbed a newer source tarball from alpha.gnu.org, and
there this seems to be fixed.
Thanks,
