I think your first question explained your need clearly. FUSE is a 
filesystem layer that lets you filter requests through a user program 
such as a python script. So, for instance, every time a process opens a 
file, a function is called in your script, and you can look at the name 
of the file being opened, and there decide whether or not to allow the 
file to be opened. I think this would solve your problem easily. Though 
all the storage is "exported", only files with certain names (ie, *.jpg, 
etc) could be opened. You could also decide which files get enumerated 
with readdir, etc.
