Thanks for the reply, David.

[logan at localhost filesystems]$ cat /proc/mounts
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
/dev/root / xfs rw,noatime 0 0
none /proc proc rw 0 0
none /sys sysfs rw 0 0
none /dev tmpfs rw 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts rw 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0
/dev/hdb1 /shared ext3 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,data=ordered 0 0

[logan at localhost filesystems]$ ls -l /dev/root
ls: /dev/root: No such file or directory

[logan at localhost filesystems]$ ls -l /dev/hda2
brw-r-----  1 root disk 3, 2 Oct 23 16:10 /dev/hda2

So alas, I have no /dev/root -- could this be a udev configuration 
issue?  Although I do have:

KERNEL=="root",                 GROUP="disk", MODE="0640"

in my udev rules.

I would like to reiterate though, that hda2's volume.mount_point is 
currently working fine and defined as '/', but the fuse patch has not 
been applied to our udev 0.5.8.1.
