well, i have sshfs/fuse running in an ubuntu karmic guest without /sys
mounted and without udev running, don't see why this shouldn't work in
lenny either.

I think it's udev that fails because /sys isn't there.
And fuse fails because udev failed.
What would udev be good for in a guest anyway? Disable it's startup
scripts, just let them return 0 for a restart/reload and you should be
fine.
