a) I use a custom /etc/rc thus I can place the mount command anywhere
I want.  No matter where I place I get the same error it is *ONLY*
after /etc/rc terminates.... I am

b) I load fuse.ko in /boot/loader.con (copied it from
/usr/local/modules to /boot/modules) here is dmesg proof it is loaded:

> dmesg|grep fuse
fuse4bsd: version 0.3.9-pre1, FUSE ABI 7.8
fuse4bsd: compiled against kernel config /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MONSTER


c) See a additionally to prove all the above here is my /etc/rc (the
last 2 lines where added just to prove the point):

#!/bin/sh

PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin

swapon -a
fsck -p
mount -rw /
mount -a
hostname flosoft.no-ip.biz
ifconfig re0 192.168.2.2
ifconfig lo0 127.0.0.1
route add default 192.168.2.1
named

noip2
ntpdate pool.ntp.org
sendmail -bd -q1m
apachectl start
moused -t auto -p /dev/ums0
vidcontrol -m on
mount /mnt/win_c
mount /mnt/win_d

Here is /etc/fstab (set up as recommended in the docs for
sysutils/fusefs-ntfs [which I am the co-maintainer of]):

# Device                Mountpoint      FStype  Options         Dump    Pass#

/dev/da0s1              /mnt/win_d            ntfs-3g rw,late         0       0

The patch to mount recommended in the fusefs-ntfs docs has been
applied.   In order to show that the mount commands work post call to
getty but not before:

When the above /etc/rc is run:

login:

Here is the .login for root and the .xsession for my main user account
(I use xdm):

> more ~root/.login

#
# .login - csh login script, read by login shell, after `.cshrc' at login.

echo Mounting C:
mount /mnt/win_c
echo Mounting D:
mount /mnt/win_d

> more ~aryeh/.xsession
sudo mount /mnt/win_c&
sudo mount /mnt/win_d&

mixer pcm 100
xfce4-session

Sudo is configured to allow 'aryeh' to no password access.   And
finally proof that the two methods do in fact work:

> df -k

/dev/fuse1    244196348  2463792 241732556     1%    /mnt/win_d

Thus it is clear that the *ONLY* difference between the /etc/rc calls
and the post getty calls is when they are made.   Thus the orginal
question (i.e. I have verified this happens on any fusefs-* file
system).   I have attempted to call stuff via alternate methods like
such as calling the mount_* directly and using equiv programs that
have different names for each fusefs-* and did so with and without
having the enteries in /etc/fstab
