The problem with your code actually has nothing to do with the JSAPIPtr casting 
to a variant.  Actually, the problem is in your CDAUserAction class; you can't 
use a user-defined ENUM type as a parameter to a JSAPIAuto function, because 
FB::variant has no idea how to convert any of the types it can get from the 
browser to that enum.  Instead, accept an int, do some typechecking, and then 
cast it to the enum type.

If you follow the trace in the output down to the bottom of the error message 
you'll find that the error originates on line 58 of dauseraction.h

When you call registerMethod for AddUserOption it tries to create a wrapper for 
that method that converts all the types.  Since it can't convert to the type 
you need it won't compile.

As a side note, you should *never* put function implementation in a .h file. It 
is really bad practice and will cause link errors if you ever include that file 
from another cpp file.

You can return enum types, since those can be converted to an int.
