Uhm, nop, is from new GF.  I should have changed https to
http, to remove the need for logging in - sorry.

If the problem persists, could you send me the error you see
(not on the list)?  Thanks!

The file system navigation problem, mounting semantics, 
and URL translation problems are indeed spread all over 
the place, and its difficult to keep track of the many
approaches floating around.  A dissmination session for 
the topic at next GGF might be a simple (and feasable) 
starting point, to get an idea on who is working (and
solving) what. 

I guess that for a F2F we would need a clearer agenda, 
and well defined (set of) problem(s) to work on.

Cheers, Andre.
