Hi Matt,

Glad to hear it finally worked.

Unreadable directories are so by design. I've just put up a note on the 
duggfs homepage.

Well, go to the duggfs homepage and use the example commands listed 
there. Start your exploration from stories/topics/.

Basically, users/ contains a potentially infinite number of entries and 
thus it is unreadable. On the other hand, if you know a user's name you 
can read his directory users/digg_name. You can also get to users by 
following symlinks from within story directories.

You really just need to replace duggfs.scm with your own FS code. It 
shouldn't be too difficult. Begin with function "duggfs-start!" and the 
variable "*duggfs-op-handlers*". Feel free to ask questions as necessary.


Cheers,
