I was able to get FUSE and sshfs up and running on chinook with the packages located here<http://maemo-sdk.garage.maemo.org/download/repo/dists/alpha-1/target/chinook/binary-armel/> . This doesn't solve your problem, I know, but on the rest of my linux computers I've been using encfs with FUSE. I don't think it would be very hard to get encfs <http://www.arg0.net/encfs> up and running on chinook with FUSE already tackled. In fact I might try getting that going myself. Encfs seems like it would be exactly what you want.
